The Island of Paxos:
Lakka lies in a magnificent setting, at the head of a long, curving inlet where the water is of a startling shade of turquoise. Tree-covered hills and headlands drop gently down to the sea, providing the shelter from the prevailing winds that makes this the perfect harbour for the many yachts that stop in at Lakka during the summer months.
Always a fishing harbour, Lakka is now immensely popular with sailors and attracts every kind of craft from flotilla boats and weekend yachtsmen to awe-inspiring mega-yachts. There is never a shortage of something to look at in Lakka!
There are beautiful beaches around Lakka - beaches around Paxos tend to be pebbly, but here the pebbles give way as soon as you step into the water to golden sand. In the bay the beaches have natural shade. A walk over the headland where the lighthouse stands, or a short trip by boat, brings you to some terrific beaches where the sea has sculpted the rocks into amazing shapes.

Lakka is a five minute walk from the villa with it's idyllic bay, a haven for beautiful yachts to moor in the evenings. Lakka has numerous bars, tavernas and mini super markets and an ATM. Close by it also boasts what is almost a sandy beach, which is unusual for Paxos.

Getting to Paxos:
The main way to get to Paxos is via Corfu. You can fly directly to Corfu, or via Athens depending on the time of the year and your departure location. From the U.K. and the rest of Europe there are regular flights directly to Corfu between May and October. From Corfu you will need to catch one of the boats going to Paxos.
