hiking guide

Strap on your boots and discover Paxos on foot with the Sunflower Paxos travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on our recommended car tour. 

The Sunflower Paxos guide is indispensable for hiking in Paxos or seeing Paxos by car. This is the ideal ‘get away from it all’ destination ― where everyone strolls through olive groves and along the coast. Paxos, just 19 sq km of cosy countryside, is little more than a broken fragment of hills sitting anchored off the southern end of Corfu. The hills are cloaked in a cool mantle of olive trees. Dark groves of cypresses pierce this silvery-green mantle. In the shade of these wooded hills lie sprinklings of rustic hamlets. But the real beauty of Paxos is the dazzling necklace of turquoise green coves that collar the eastern coastline. Whatever your age or ability we’ve got some glorious walks and a car tour to ensure you have a memorable holiday in Paxos.

Inside the Sunflower Paxos guide book you’ll find:
