Things to do on Paxos with children
Measuring a tiny ten kilometres by four kilometres, Paxos is one of the smallest Greek islands. Without an airport or any mass developments, it is also one of the most unspoilt. Consequently Paxos remains a beautiful and tranquil haven, the perfect place to enjoy natural Grecian beauty at its best.
Whilst there is plenty to enjoy for nature lovers and those seeking peace and tranquility, is Paxos a realistic place to holiday with children?
In a word, yes. Take a look at the following great things to do on Paxos with children.
Take a sea taxi to Anti-Paxos
Sea taxis are an exciting way to motor across the water and explore the oceanic treasures which lie within Paxos’ vicinity.
Travelling by sea taxi to the sandy beaches of Anti-Paxos will certainly ensure a memorable day out for all the family. Anti-Paxos is situated approximately three kilometres to the south of Paxos. It has two main beaches, one sandy and one pebbly, so families can chose which type of beach takes their fancy.
Vrika is the island’s sandy beach, whilst Voutoumi has pebbles underfoot but once in the water, bathers are treated to a bed of white sand.
Both beaches are safe for all ages and their crystal clear water provides a memorable day for family fun on the beach.
Visit Paxos International Music Festival
If you want to introduce youngsters to the cultural thrills of a music festival but without the mud of a British outdoor event, then the Paxos International Music Festival would be an incredible place to start.
