Antipaxos Island – Crystal Clear Waters & Voutoumi Beach
Although small in size, Antipaxos is one of the most breathtaking islands in the Ionian Sea. Located just 3 nautical miles south of Paxos, this tiny paradise is famous for its crystal-clear turquoise waters, white pebble beaches and unspoiled natural beauty.
Antipaxos is best known for its stunning beaches, particularly the world-famous Voutoumi Beach. With its exotic colours and transparent waters, Voutoumi is often considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece and a highlight of any cruise to Paxos and Antipaxos. The island’s coastline is surrounded by secluded coves and pristine swimming spots that attract visitors from all over the world.
Beyond its spectacular beaches, Antipaxos is also renowned for its vineyards and long tradition of wine production. The island’s fertile soil and Mediterranean climate create ideal conditions for cultivating grapes, producing high-quality local wines including traditional Ionian varieties. Small family-owned vineyards continue to preserve the island’s winemaking heritage using traditional methods passed down through generations.
Unlike many popular tourist destinations, Antipaxos remains largely untouched by mass tourism. There are very few permanent residents, no large resorts and only a handful of tavernas, allowing visitors to experience an authentic Greek island atmosphere surrounded by nature.
The best way to visit Antipaxos is by boat from Corfu or Paxos. Many daily cruises include a swimming stop at Voutoumi Beach, giving visitors the opportunity to enjoy the island’s extraordinary waters and stunning scenery.
