Lakka and Paxos:
a local guide
Our guide to the bay below the villa, and the island around it.
Why Lakka
The prettiest bay on the island — right below the terrace
Lakka sits at the sheltered northern tip of Paxos, wrapped around a horseshoe bay of clear, shallow, turquoise water. It is calmer than Gaios, with a small village of cafés and tavernas along the waterfront, yachts at anchor and two beaches inside the bay.
From the villa you look straight down over it all — and everything you need for a lazy day is a short walk away.
