Paxos News

Welcome to the first issue of Paxos News, Travel a la carte’s newsletter about Paxos.

Those of you who have visited the island will be familiar with its charms – picturesque villages, clear blue-green water, the buzzing of cicadas in the olive groves, the easy, tranquil pace of life. These are some of the attractions which draw people back time and again. Another is the local life and I know from conversations with Paxos fans over the years that many of you would like to know more about the island and its permanent residents once the tourist season is over. Now we have the chance to find out, as our island manager Chris Griffiths, his wife Christine and new baby Natasha are spending their first winter on the island.

Many of you will already know Chris. Travel a la carte is very lucky to have him as our man on Paxos and I’m very pleased he has come up with the idea of a newsletter. I’ll be looking forward as much as any of you to catching up regularly with news and events from that unspoilt corner of the Ionian.

Welcome to our very first Paxos News from Travel a la carte. My first hope is that you will find it interesting and informative, and I'm sure you hope for the same.

In this first ever edition, we have an article about the olive harvest and a personal report on our first winter in Greece as well as local news and gossip. We'll follow a similar format over the next few editions but PLEASE feel free to email us with information and news you would like to hear about and we'll do our best.
