Gaios | Sleeps 2-4
There's a lot to love about The Olive Press. Its location balances a secluded spot in the unspoilt south with easy access to the pretty port of Gaios. And its accommodation is packed with character –this is a centuries-old working building, and incorporates traditional stone walls and parts of the original olive-pressing floor. Romantic in every sense, it's the perfect choice for couples who want to relax into the slow, peaceful rhythms of Paxos life.
By day, kick back on the sunny terrace, take a dip in the pool or head out on foot to explore the area on the old donkey tracks and quiet country lanes. Both east and west coasts are within easy reach – Gaios is 15 minutes on foot or five minutes by car, and a short walk will bring you to the beautiful beach at Avlaki or the Trypitos Arch, a striking and remote rock formation.
In the evening, an open-plan living area allows you to cook and chill out together, and an enclosed, beautifully lit patio creates the perfect environment for romantic al fresco meals. Alternatively, try out one of the two excellent tavernas just a short stroll away.
