Gaios is the capital town of Paxos and it's surrounded by a stunning landscape with lush green olive groves. Gaios lies around the natural harbour where most cultural and trade activities on the island take place. The village displays some of the most picturesque buildings that can be seen from the port between the narrow alleys. The village retains its strong traditional character despite the cosmopolitan crowds that constantly arrive on the island with private yachts and boats.
