Port Gaios - click to enlarge Port Gaios is the principal port of Paxos island.  On the islets off the harbour are a Venetian fort and the former Monastery of the Panayia.  You can moor right in the middle of the busy touristy scenery of this charming place or choose a more quiet berth further down the long (about 1 km) quay.
The harbour provides excellent shelter in all weathers; yet, careful should be taken on the length of your anchor, as passing ferries in the narrow canal may overcome your chain.

Gaios is a popular place for excursions from Corfu making it very crowded place in the summer.  Ferry boats, flotilla and private yachts churn in and out choking the little harbour.  If you want a berth in the height of summer be here early in the afternoon. .
