Just half a nautical mile south of Paxos, Antipaxos awaits with its breathtaking sandy beaches, Vrika and Voutoumi. These stunning shores boast fine white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters, framed by green landscapes that captivate every visitor. Both beaches feature beach bars and tavernas, where you can relax with food, drinks, and sunbeds while soaking in the magnificent sea views. For those seeking a more private experience, Mesovrika beach, nestled between Vrika and Voutoumi, offers a tranquil retreat and a great spot for offshore anchoring.
For those seeking peace and tranquility away from the crowds, the east side of Antipaxos offers a serene escape. As you venture further south, past the picturesque Agrapidia cove and the small harbor of Antipaxos, you’ll find a selection of quiet beaches and coves such as Agni, Skidi, and Ovoros beaches. These sheltered spots provide protection from the midday breeze, making them perfect for a peaceful retreat. At the southernmost tip of the island lies Cape Ovoros (Antipaxos Lighthouse), offering stunning views of the tiny Daskalia islets.
Important Notice:
Access to the west coast beaches is not recommended for novice boat handlers, and it is prohibited for even experienced boaters after midday due to changing weather conditions.
The west side of Antipaxos is home to stunning beaches, including Sarakiniko, Kaloiri, and the famous Rodovani Beach, also known as Emerald Bay. These idyllic spots are nestled along the deep blue sea, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty and peaceful surroundings.
Important Notice:
Crossing from Paxos to Antipaxos takes about 10 minutes. However, it can be challenging and is only recommended for highly experienced boat handlers, as it depends on weather conditions. It’s best to make the trip early in the morning and plan your return before 2 PM.
