Paxos & Antipaxos Islands, and the Blue Caves Private Cruise
When Poseidon, the God of the Sea, wished to find a quiet place to live with his lover, Amphitrite, he chipped a corner from the island of Corfu with one mighty blow of his trident. And no more peaceful-a-corner could he have chosen. The smallest of the Ionian Islands, Paxos is a rare and special gem - laced with silvery olive groves and lined with soft white chalk cliffs, along with clear aquamarine sea and pebble beaches that must be seen to be believed! Take this private cruise to these hidden treasures of the Ionian Islands where you will get the chance to swim in the amazing, turquoise waters of Antipaxos Island, whose sandy blue water coves have been often compared to that of Carribean’s, visit the famous Blue Caves and explore the picturesque island of Paxos!
