This villa caught our eye for its stunning sea views over Avlaki Bay. Surrounded on three sides by a small forest of pine and cypress trees, it’s in a peaceful spot, yet only a five-minute drive to the beaches, tavernas, and shops in Gaios. There are outdoor spaces aplenty here, with an infinity pool, a comfy seating area, terraces, and balconies to enjoy. And with Paxi being a small island – only 3 miles by 7 – everything it has to offer is within easy reach.

Home truths:
*While two of the bathrooms aren’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance and bring your own linen. The swimming pool isn't fenced so children will need to be supervised at all times.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. Parking is available.
