PaxosBlue Suites & Villas

We stayed in Paxos for 5 nights and what a lovely little apartment this was. Communication with the owners of the apartment was brilliant and they said they would come and pick us up from the port. We waited for 10/15 minutes and no one came so we decided to just walk as it was 5 minutes from the Port. As we were walking the owner Stamatiis was coming up in his car and stopped us, he apologised and we were fine by walking up. We got to the apartment around 11am, so wasn’t time for check in but lady cleaning said she was only going to take 5 minutes then we could have the key which was so lovely. We chose the basic apartment as we wouldn’t be in the room all day but the apartment was so nice and had everything we needed. Kitchen/dining area, bathroom and spacious bedroom with a very big bed. We had a little dining area outside and deckchairs (wear insect repellent when sitting outside as they get you straight away). The water pressure in the shower wasn’t the best but still did the job. No shared pool which by the pictures, you would think there was. The pool was only for the private apartment. But there is a private beach, with 6 sun-loungers. It is through the red gates opposite the apartments and down the hill. We used it a few times and didn’t have too many people sat there with us which was great. The apartment is situated up a hill, so for those who are not great walkers beware. Gaios is only 10 minute walk. There’s a beautiful beach 10 minutes from the apartment (the opposite way to Gaios) again up and down, so beware. Beach had a beach bar and could rent sun loungers for the day. Stamatiis told us that he can do private tours around island, he rents boats, cars and scooters out too. So definitely ask him if you need anything. We went to Antipaxos for the day, which we got a boat from Gaios opposite the church. It was €20 each return. Took 15 minutes on the boat and there are two stops. First beach they stop at is the best and the food in the beach bar is amazing. Second beach is a bit pebbly. You can walk from one to the other in which we did, took around 20 minutes. We also went to Lakka on the local bus, which was situated 2 minutes up from the church. You can on the bus and it stops at Loggos and Lakka. €3 each single to Lakka. The buses are not regular and the times may change in peak summer so just be aware. There are timetables in Gaios. Loggos when we went past in the bus was very pretty but very small! Lakka is a bit bigger but again very pretty. We had a few hours to mooch and we did find a small castle where we did get lost! We tried different restaurants every night in Gaios and honestly I don’t think you can go wrong with whatever one you choose. We went to Volcano, George’s corner, piazza Massa, Dal Pescatore and Fanalino. Amazing food in each one. At our apartment we had our sheets/towels and apartment cleaned every 2 days which was great. Stamatiis took us down to the port when we left. We had an amazin
