Getting to Paxos
One of the charms of Paxos is that it does not have an airport. The nearest airport is in Corfu Town. There are flights to Corfu from many UK and European airports. From London the flight time is approximately 3 hours. You will then need to take a boat from Corfu to Paxos.
We will be happy to help arrange your boat and taxi transfers.
Passenger boats
The passenger boats operate between Corfu and Gaios in Paxos.
Kerkyra Lines operate the Paxos Island hydrofoil and the Calypso. These boats depart from outside the Sette Venti café at the new port in Corfu Town (about 10 minutes by car from the airport).

The latter service includes a transfer bus to/from the airport to Lefkimmi port. The total journey time between Corfu and Paxos using the Despina (including the bus transfer) is about 2 hours (approximately 1 hour on the bus and 1 hour on the Despina).
