  • Agios Isavros at Kastanida belonged to the Grammatikos family and appears in the catalogue of 1686.

    Kastanida is the quarter above Lakka that the islanders knew as the place of the stonecutters: the flagstones that paved the yards, the churches and the cisterns of Paxos came from the workings here, and for a long time cut stone was one of the few things the island exported. Ancient graves have also been recorded in this area.

    The municipality lists Kastanida among the places to go for the sunset, and from here it is one of the best on the island.

    Feast day: 17 June.

      The balcony of Kastanida is the viewpoint above Lakka, reached by taking the turning to the right after the primary school and following it to the end. Kastanida is the old quarter of the stonecutters. The flagstones that paved the churchyards, the cisterns and the threshing floors of Paxos were cut here, and for a long time dressed stone was Read more...

      Pantokratoras at Ypapandi belongs to the Argyros family and appears in the catalogue of 1686. It was rebuilt on its original foundations by the monk Ionikios Argyros in 1760. A visitor in the 1880s called it a thoroughly unpretentious little church, and meant it kindly: a plain projecting sanctuary, a mossy forecourt, a lozenge-patterned side doorway, a square door with Read more...

      Agia Paraskevi stands just above Magazia, among the olive groves that fill the valley between the village and Lakka. It is one of the many small churches of the Paxos interior, built and kept by the families of the surrounding hamlets rather than by a bishop or the state. That is the reason an island of this size counts several Read more...

      Agios Konstantinos stands in the high ground between Magazia and Lakka. Two dates are cut into the building itself: 1720 over the doorway and 1835 in the stone paving of the floor. The first belongs to the church, the second to a later refurbishment. Both were read on the spot by a visitor in the 1880s, which makes this one Read more...

    Erimitis is the youngest beach on Paxos. It did not exist before 2008, when a landslide brought down part of the cliff on the west coast and left a shore of white pebbles at the foot of it. Before that this was a place you looked at rather than stood on. The cliff of Erimitis was already one of the Read more...

    Agios Iakovos belongs to the Anemogiannis, Stanelos, Mourikis and Zernos families. It is listed in 1805 and was very probably built in 1740. In the survey of 1885 it is the church of the hamlet of Stanelatika, in the district of Fountana. One of the owning families gave the island a painter: Michail Mourikis, brother of Bishop Dionysios, whose work Read more...

    At the south of Paxos, and within a walking distance from the cliffs, you can find the petrified forest. In that area of the Ionian Sea there were volcanic activities. In special circumstances where the lava covers a forest and freezes very quickly, the molecules of the wood instead of burning chemical processes are converted into stone and main quartz.
