Overview
Paxos, tiny and incredibly beautiful, has always attracted yachtsmen and Lakka has always been a very special port of call, with its fine sheltered bay and exquisite setting. Green hills drop down to a bay where the water is of an intoxicating shade of turquoise, fringed with white beaches. Villa Alexander is one of a group of three semi-detached villas set on a headland with superb views over Lakka. Alexander has its own large and very attractive swimming pool, and beautiful pool terrace with a corner viewpoint that will prove hard to get up and walk away from! Quiet beaches are just a short walk away.

Layout
Ground floor: Large kitchen/living/dining room opening on to front terrace, with sofa bed sleeping two persons/children, two bedrooms (one twin and one double), bathroom.
First floor: Master double bedroom with bathroom, front and side verandahs.

Kitchen/Living room
The kitchen is attractively finished in pale wood, and is satisfactorily equipped. It incorporates a convenient dining area and links with the lounge area. The living room opens on to a verandah with a superb view over Lakka and its bay. The living room is quite simply furnished and is dominated by its view. Big sofas convert easily into extra sleeping accommodation for two guests or children. The balconies enjoy the most wonderful views - right into the heart of Lakka.

Bedrooms
The master bedroom (with en-suite bathroom) is located upstairs, and has its own balcony from which to admire the stunning view. Air-conditioned. Attractively fitted, with full bath, shower fitment and glass screen, vanity unit and w.c. There are two bedrooms located on the ground floor. A double and a twin. They are both air-conditioned.

Bathrooms
Both bathrooms are equipped with full bath and shower fitting.

Pool
Villa Alexander has an unusually-shaped private swimming pool (8m x 8m), with a children's section. It is surrounded by broad paved terraces, open to cool breezes and overlooking fantastic views. The corner pictured (see photo) will become a favourite, with the pleasant shade from its windshaped tree, and its inspiring view. There is plenty of room at the villa for outdoor meals near the pool, under the shade of a bushy Cyprus tree.

Balcony/Terrace
The view of Lakka from Villa Alexander must be one of the loveliest in Paxos, especially perhaps in the evening, when the sky is suffused with the afterglow of the sunset.

HOW TO GET THERE
With no airport on Paxos, most visitors fly to the nearby island of Corfu and then transfer by hydrofoil or sea taxi. It is an exciting start to your holiday! Charter flights to Corfu operate from most major European airports from May to October. To allow for same day transfers to Paxos, we recommend flights that arrive at Corfu not later than 13.00hrs. This avoids an overnight stay on Corfu, although if necessary, onward transfers can be arranged the following morning. Later sea planes are available on some days. Late sea taxis will run often into the early evening but are more expensive and uneconomic for small party sizes.

TRANSFERS
We offer clients who pre-book transfers with us the following services:  Our representative will meet you at Corfu airport with a pre-arranged taxi to transfer you to the port. Transfer to Paxos is via hydrofoil or sea taxi - depending on pre-booked choice. Our Paxos representative will await your arrival in Gaios, Paxos with a pre-arranged taxi transfer to your accommodation or provide you with a pre-reserved hire car.  If you have chosen Thalpos Holidays to book the hydrofoil to Paxos - your tickets will be either handed to you at the airport or collected from the Ionian Sea Cruises Office, directly opposite the port entrance.

The sea taxi is around 280 Euro each way to charter privately and can seat up to 12 persons.  If shared with others - this option can work out to be more cost effective for a smaller group.  You may book this directly by contacting Nick the Operator (contact details will be given by our reservation office).

You will also be sent detailed driving instructions to your villa. A Welcome Letter and Villa Folder will be awaiting you in your villa providing the information that you will need for your stay on the island. The welcome letter will include telephone numbers for our offices and representatives which are on call throughout your stay in the island. (those who have hired a car and are arriving after dark are suggested to arrange for car to be delivered to villa and be transferred on arrival by taxi). We can either arrange a hire car or taxi to meet you at the port of Gaios.

There is a local agent's office located on each island where we are on hand for any of your needs. A personal villa visit can be made (on request) by our representative the day following your arrival to answer any individual queries. Our staff can help you arrange excursions, car hire, provide tips on what to see and do and let you know of any special events that may be taking place during your stay.
