How hotels on the island of Paxos are different from regular hotels
Visiting the island of Paxos for the first time will certainly give you the experience of living an unforgettable vacation with your family. Well, there is no single reason behind this statement, but there are many things that make this island a paradise for peace lovers. Anyway, before discussing the reasons that will make your vacation an unforgettable period of your life, or that will differentiate Paxos Island from others, let’s talk about Paxos Island.
Where is Paxos Island? As you know, the country of Greece is known for its beautiful islands, and surprisingly Paxos is one of them. Although the island is the smallest among all the islands located in Greece, despite this it is visited by a large crowd of visitors from all over the world, especially those who are looking for a quiet and romantic place for their vacations. The island is situated in the arms of the Ionian or Heptanese island and is at a distance of nine miles from Corfu, which is its nearest city. The Greek mainland lies at a distance of ten miles from Paxos. To get to Paxos, you will have to rent a boat from Corfu, because the island does not have its own airport, and the only airport to get there is in Corful only.
But surprisingly, the absence of an airport could not stop lovers of nature and peace from flocking there. In fact, it would not be wrong to say that the absence of an airport has turned out to be a boon for the Paxos, as it has kept them free from any kind of contamination that may have occurred due to the arrival of planes. The island is mainly covered by olive groves, which is also the main source of income for the natives, apart from fishing and small business activities.
The east coast of the island has pebbles, while the west coast has only limestone rocks and cliffs.

Because, like other developed cities, Paxos is also blessed with all the facilities and amenities that you have been finding in other cities and therefore, finding hotels in Paxos Island is no exception. However, these hotels are different from the usual hotels you have stayed in while visiting somewhere on vacation.
