West Coast

The west coast of Paxos is typical of the Ionian Islands - towering white limestone cliffs drop down abruptly to a wild and rocky shore, defying human exploration, but home to noisy colonies of sea birds, seals and dolphins. 

Sculptural rock formations conceal massive caves that have often, in the past sheltered boats hiding from pirates that once infested these waters.

The cliffs above Erimitis Bay are dotted with magnificent viewpoints, and at one of them, not far from Bogdanatika, is the 'Sunset Cafe', highly recommended for an evening visit to watch the sunset.
