ABOUT THE IONIAN

Paxos & Anti Paxos

Lakka Bay

A large, picturesque bay on the north of Paxos and a great place for lunchtime stop or overnighting.  Most mooring is free swinging or line to shore.

Longos

A beautiful little harbour but with very few comfortable berths as the swell does tend to impact here adversely.  Just to the south of Longos there is a lovely anchorage which is much more sheltered.

 

Gaios

This is the main port for Paxos with a large amount of day tripper boats, and ferries from Corfu and the mainland arriving here.

The entrance to Gaios from the North is largely hidden, but is the way to go. The depths on the southern entrance are only about 2m and in any swell can be considerably less.

Mooring is along the long town quay or if full you can anchor off Ay Nikolaos.

Gaios is a lovely village but is very busy in high season and crossed anchors are the norm!

 

Mongonisi

Just over a mile to the south of Gaios is the enclosed bay of Mongonisi.  Anchor on the quay outside the Carnayo if room or alternatively anchor off with good all round shelter.  Usually a very relaxed and low key location for over nighting.

Voutoumi

There are many reefs in this area so be careful!  A beautiful bay, but can be difficult in strong prevailing winds and over nighting is discouraged by the locals.
