Tripitos Arch

If you are looking for an adventure by foot, then look no further than The Tripitos Arch. A remarkable collapsed sea cave that now forms bridge onto land of the peninsula of Tripitos. This natural wonder can only be reached by foot and is worth the walk up the rocky paths. We recommend that you follow an island map, as the route can be tricky to follow, but worth the trek when you see the amazing sights at the top.

Day trip to Anti-Paxos

One-mile south of Paxos is Anti Paxos, a tiny island easily assessable by the local speedboat service. Although there are no shops, there are four tavernas and a café that sit above the sandy beaches of Voutoumi and Vrika. After experiencing the pebble beaches of Paxos, feel the sand between your toes the minute you step off the boat onto the island.
