Property for sale in Paxos

The island

Paxos has no airport, one main road and about 2,500 residents. That is the point. Reached by hydrofoil from Corfu or ferry from Igoumenitsa, the island is an unbroken olive grove with a cliffed west coast, a soft east coast of small coves, and three villages on the water: Gaios, the capital, with its Venetian houses facing the islet of Agios Nikolaos; Loggos, the smallest; and Lakka, at the northern tip on a horseshoe bay. Antipaxos, across a short strait, has beaches of sand and pebble, turquoise water and scattered houses. Italian and British owners are a familiar presence on the island.

Where people buy

There are no zones on Paxos in the way Corfu has them; there is the waterfront, the hillsides above the three villages, and the interior groves. Villas with sea views are found above Gaios, Loggos and Lakka. Stone houses in the villages and in the interior hamlets around Magazia are the traditional alternative. Planning rules limit new building.

Prices in 2026

Spitogatos data for the second quarter of 2026, as reported in the Greek press, show Paxos with the highest average asking price in the Ionian Islands, €3,846 per square metre, against €2,531 for the region as a whole.

Getting there

Fly to Corfu, then about an hour by hydrofoil from Corfu port to Gaios, or a ferry from Igoumenitsa on the mainland. Water taxis and hire boats are the way to reach Antipaxos and the coves.

Golden Visa
