Paxos y Antipaxos

“After Trepitos comes Tsi Vavos Ti Gurna Point with terraces covered in old grapevines, Tus Milus, which reach down to the bottom. Underneath, reefs emerge, and there is an inclined and tall furrow called Trafos Sto Chiro. Then, the funnel-shaped hollow of Achandacha, where the sea reaches in, offers a strange vision: in the interior, a pebble beach, on the outside, an opening almost like a door, protected by two reefs, with conglomerate stalactites and scaling made of iron deposits.

Then comes another point called Nisaki ( Tis Cambanes) with a rock that moves with strong winds and a tooth-shaped point which has a small bay behind with sloped walls. A bit further we come to Sto Agerla.

   

The biggest attraction is Ortholithon. We could say it is a giant, a wild sign from nature, inhabited by gulls and rising up from the sea. It is one of Paxos’ primary beauties.”

Then comes the loose group of Achai reefs, consisting of three primary groups, with a spring underneath a small cave. To the left is an opening which joins a cave with the main one on the side and which is covered in a silvery shine where the sea enters through the broad main entrance. It is one of the most beautiful caves in the Mediterranean, and, along with Trepitos and Ortholithon, one of the island’s three biggest miracles. From the pebbly beach in front of the first cave is one of the prettiest views because you can see both entrances.”
