  • A church at Bogdanatika, above Gaios, a little under two hundred metres from Agia Paraskevi.

    We are recording it under the name the open map data gives it, the Panagia, because we have not been able to confirm a fuller name on the ground.

    There is a good chance that this is the chapel of the Panagia of Koutroubalis, which we have been looking for. The old records say that the Koutroubalis family, of the Vellianites, bought an icon of the Virgin from the Bona family, and that around 1890 Koutroubalis built a small chapel joined to his own house to hold it. On the fourteenth of August the icon was carried in procession to Agia Paraskevi — which stands exactly that short walk away.

    We cannot confirm the identification, and the building as it stands today does not read as a chapel attached to a house. If you know this church, or remember the procession of the fourteenth of August, we would be very glad to hear from you.

      The white church of Agia Paraskevi is the church of Bogdanatika. In the island survey of 1885 the hamlet, then thirty-three souls, is listed under her name, and the small chapel of the Prophet Elias stands a little to the right of it. The church still has its part in the Paxiot Easter. On Easter Monday the icon of the Read more...

      A church of Agios Spiridon above Gaios, in the Vlachopoulatika district, not far from the Eleousa and from Agios Charalambos. Agios Spiridon is the patron of Corfu, and Paxos, which was administered from Corfu for most of its history, took him up with enthusiasm: there are churches of his at Argyratika, at Kokkinatika, at Mitsialatika in Magazia and on the Read more...

      From Bogdanatika, by the road that runs beside the church of Agia Paraskevi, a narrow but easy path sets off westwards. It is short and pleasant walking. It passes first between drystone walls and the yards of old houses and newer villas, then out into the olive groves, and as it climbs the soil gives way to bare limestone. On Read more...

      The chapel of the Prophet Elias stands at Boikatika, above Gaios, a little to the right of the white church of Agia Paraskevi at Bogdanatika. Its red-painted doorway carries the date 1700 and a double-headed eagle, which makes it one of the older dated buildings on the island. Ancient column capitals and shafts have been recorded here, reused in the Read more...

      Agios Charalambos was described in the nineteenth century as the protector of the island, and he is still one of the saints whose icon travels at Easter. The church sits on the high ground at Vlachopoulatika, with a view that is the reason most people climb to it. Its bell tower was newly built in the 1880s. A visitor of Read more...

    The groove, as you can see on the map, has a special geomorphology. At this point dive the depths starting at 7 meters and deepens abruptly reaching 30 meters. You need to have a high degree of experience to dive at this point. Special thanks to the dive center “Water Planet” for the underwater photos. Read more...

    The Museum of Paxos holds what the island itself has handed in: old tools and household equipment, prehistoric finds, antiquities raised from the sea, and Venetian pistols among the later pieces. What makes it unlike most small museums is exactly that. The collection was not assembled by a ministry or bought at auction; almost everything in it was given by Read more...
