Paxos History
According to the mythology, Poseidon built this Island to enjoy his love with Amphitrite and keep the secret far away from his wife. This means that Paxos is a secret getaway for delights that every human can experience. Despite this meaningful mythos, the history of Paxos is rich and it is dating from 2nd BC with the continuous development of the events of the Byzantine era where there is data that speak about the presence of pirates. During the Middle Age, the island had a great influence by The Venetians on the culture which is still notable in its architecture. In the late 17th century the island was under the rule of Napoleon and then the Ionian Islands were placed under British Protection. This happened on the 13th of February when Paxos surrendered to the Royal Navy frigate HMS Apollo, the 2nd Greek Light Infantry from Cephalonia, and the 35th Regiment of the Royal Corsican Rangers.
Paxos Beaches
Endless shorelines and beaches are around this island and most of them are found on the portion of the coast which is simply reachable by foot, by bike, by motorbike, or even by car. Most of them are Peebles covered and surrounded by untouched idyllic nature. For full experience renting a boat is the most perfect way to explore the island's coastline for seeing and feeling its remote beaches and driving into the caves.
