Magazia Holidays

Magazia – a genuine Paxos village community
Magazia holidays are for those looking for an authentic taste of Greek island life as it was before mass tourism arrived on the islands. Magazia achieves this by simply being in the centre of the small, beautiful and unhurried island of Paxos. A holiday in Magazia is an unforgettable experience as it is a genuinely living small island community with the kind of facilities found in a typical small inland Greek village – that is to say charming but minimal.

Magazia holidays – unhurried Paxos village life and glorious sunsets
A holiday in Magazia is not for party lovers! Magazia has a couple of shops and tavernas, a bar  and a bakery with superb bread and pastries, exceptionally friendly people, a museum dedicated to olive presses….and that’s it! The church of Agii Apostoli is a wonderful spot to admire views of the coast, the white cliffs of Erimitis, coastal rock formations and spectacularly colourful sunsets. Magazia holidays enjoy the feel of true village life unspoilt by tourism. Tiny as it is, Magazia serves as the focal point for a group of inland hamlets with a Venetian feel, found amid olive groves.

Holiday in Magazia  - superb and unforgettable base for Paxos exploration
Magazia is in the centre of Paxos and is the highest point of the island. One road passes through the village and every route in every direction offers beautiful inland driving or walking. As Paxos itself is so small, Magazia is just a ten-minute drive from Magazia beach and not much more from the island’s three charming principle resorts of Gaios, Loggos and Lakka. Magazia is a great central location for exploring the entire island; perfect for those seeking a holiday in Paxos without being in the centre of a resort. A Magazia holiday will obviously include visits to these characterful ports as well as the hamlets close to the dramatic west coast and dozens of splendid coves and beaches.
