If you're planning to spend a day on Antipaxos, enjoying its beautiful beaches and exploring the island, here are your options for getting there.

Sea Taxi from Gaios

The fastest and cheapest way to get to Antipaxos is by sea taxi from Gaios. Ideal for those heading to Vrika or Voutoumi beaches, this option costs 25 € per person for a round trip.

Boats leave at 10 am from the main square and take about 15 minutes. We suggest you get to the boats at around 9:30 as they might start going earlier if it gets busy. The last boat from Gaios to Antipaxos is at 2 pm.

The boats start coming back from Antipaxos at 2:30 pm-4 pm. The last boat from Antipaxos departs at 5 pm, but it's wise to confirm as times can vary with weather conditions. Tickets are purchased on-site; just show up and get in line.

Another fun option is the Glass Bottom boat, offering the same schedule and price. You can enjoy amazing views of marine life and the crystal-clear waters below with a glass floor.

Boat from Lakka

If you are staying in or near Lakka, there's a boat that leaves every Wednesday at 10 am and returns at 4 pm, costing 83 € per person. It’s perfect for small groups of up to six people. For more details, you can contact Paxos Oasi Sub or Paxos Thalassa Travel.

Boat Rental

For those wanting to explore more of Antipaxos, including the blue caves and the west coast of Paxos, you can rent a boat, either with or without a skipper.

Suitable for both amateurs and experts. Prices vary, so check with Captain Nikos Boat Hire or Panos Boats and Trips in Loggos. They provide instructions and a quick lesson for beginners.
