Corfu the island of grace and politeness is the north-most island in the Ionian Sea. It lies opposite the coast of Epirus mainland and it is separated from Albania in the north by a narrow strait of 1.5 sea miles.
The legend has it that Paxos Island was formed when Poseidon, the god of the sea, severed the south tip of Corfu island with one mighty blow of his trident and dragged it south to create an idyllic retreat for his beloved wife Amphitrite. With an area of 25 sq. km and a population of 2500 inhabitants this green island, covered mostly with olive and cypress trees, is the smallest in the Ionian Sea.
Only 1.5 nautical miles away from the island of Paxos you will find the island of Antipaxos. This small green covered piece of land, with olive trees and vineyards, has got an area of only 5 square kilometers.
