Mas de la Lune

Mas de la Lune rises on a hill near the northern tip of Paxos, overlooking the lovely harbour town, beaches and bay of Lakka. This charming village, which has a decent selection of cafés, bars, shops and tavernas (not to mention boat hire options) is a 10-to-15-minute walk away.

A series of paths from the lead to a selection of beaches, including west-facing Planos beach (about 8 minutes on foot), and Harami (about 5 minutes on foot) on Lakka Bay. There are several other glorious beaches in the northeast of Paxos, including Monodendri and Orkou, which are less than 10 minutes' drive away.

A 15-minute drive south will take you down to Gaios Town, the port of entry and departure, of Paxos which also has frequent boat services to Corfu and Paxos' tiny sister island, Antipaxos. The picturesque little harbour village of Loggos, just a few kilometres down the coast, is also worth a visit either by car or by boat.

Paxos (measuring around 13km from north to south) is situated 15km south of Corfu and about 20km off the Greek mainland. It boasts some of the most stunning beaches anywhere in the Mediterranean and, as it's only accessible by ferry, has managed to remain relatively unspoilt by mass tourism.

The western seaboard of Paxos is dramatic, with cliffs, sea caves and stretches of rugged, rocky coastline, while the east coast is home to gentle sandy beaches and views of the Greek mainland. The hinterland is carpeted with olive groves, which produce some truly excellent oil.

A holiday on Paxos is all about relaxing and taking it easy, all the more so if you book one of our villas on the island.
