Gaios Anchorage
Drop the hook in 5–8m over a good holding mud bottom right off Gaios, the main village of Paxos, and you're within a short dinghy ride of one of the most charming settlements in the Ionians — think narrow lanes, Venetian architecture, and waterfront tavernas. The anchorage is well protected across nearly all wind directions, making it a reliable overnight option. The lights of the village reflecting on the water at dusk make it hard to leave in the morning.
