Erimitis Beach
The best beaches are often the most hidden, and Erimitis can only be reached, on foot, by the fearless. Make sure you have stocked up on refreshments , water and sunscreen, as there are no facilities on the pebble beach – it’s all about the stunning white cliffs and natural beauty here.
Plakes Beach
Plakes is the most famous beach in Paxos, and it’s easily reached from the main road. Situated just 500m away from the capital, Gaios, it is covered in dense olive groves and lush vegetation. The rocky landscape consists of stony plates, right next to the sea, with translucent waters that bewitch snorkellers and swimmers. If you follow the coastal road to the south you will reach the small, hidden Spiazza Beach.

Galazio Beach
