Gaios is the largest of the three main villages on Paxos, and the only one that can be called a town, albeit a very small one! Gaios, the 'capital' of the island, shows its Venetian and British heritage in the colorful buildings that line the waterfront. Life in Gaios focuses on the harbor where in high season, awe-inspiring yachts jostle for space, along with local boats of all kinds. A super variety of Tavernas, chic boutiques, and old-fashioned stores make Gaios a fascinating place to visit, with a Greek atmosphere all of its own.
