The EU is bringing in new entry checks, so check the rules on GOV.UK before you book.
Temperatures are the average daytime high in °C.
June and September are best for warm sea and calm coves. August is busy with yachts and Italian visitors. The season runs from May to October, and the island is very quiet in winter.
The main harbour village, with a tiny island across a narrow channel.
Two more pretty harbour villages, each with small beaches.
Voutoumi and Vrika beaches have some of the clearest water in Greece.
Boat trips along the west coast's cliffs and sea caves.
No licence is needed for small boats, the best way to find your own cove.
Old paths through ancient olive trees across the island.
Yes, for a peaceful holiday. It's small, unspoilt and beautiful, with no big resorts.
Fly into Corfu, which has direct flights from the UK, then take the ferry, about 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes.
Mostly pebble coves. The sandy beaches are on Antipaxos, a short boat ride away.
June and September, around 27°C.
Not really. A scooter, small boat or taxi is enough on such a small island.
Put Paxos on standby with everyone's other ideas. You each spread your points in secret, get one veto, and the draw picks where you go.
