Paxi, also known as Paxos, is a small Ionian island south of Corfu, known for dense olive groves, sheltered harbours, limestone cliffs, and clear coastal waters. The island’s main settlement, Gaios, surrounds a protected harbour formed by the islets of Agios Nikolaos and Panagia, while Lakka and Loggos provide two smaller waterfront villages.
Lyttelton is the largest settlement on Lyttelton Harbour, an inlet on the northwestern side of Banks Peninsula, and provides a frequent landing spot to those who are Christchurch bound.
