Antipaxos island with its captivating beaches
It is located just 3 nautical miles from the port of Gaios of Paxos. It is a very beautiful little island with beautiful beaches that it was characterized as the Greek blue lake.
The island is lush with undergrowth of trees, cypresses, cedars, bushes, myrtles, hollies, and pines in isolated areas, which stand out for their height and volume.
Even the natural landscape is full of vineyards that produce excellent wine, and that is why it is considered as a paradise for wine-tourists, and rightly is regarded the whole island as one large vineyard.
The wines of Antipaxos have specificity to the flavor and are highly sought after as the output is relatively small.
Adamis, Glyceras, Tsoukaniaris, Lianorogo, Asproudi are among the varieties of white wines that thrive on the island, while Fidias and Petrokoryntho are some of the varieties of red wine.
