The name of this new (2024) and rather chic little house translates from Greek as ‘forest land’, which is a spot-on description for its charming and peaceful location near Lakka at the northern tip of the island. The cottage is built from the beautiful, honey-hued stone that’s so typical of Paxos, lending a timeless and traditional feel. Once inside however, you’ll find a tastefully modern and spacious home that’s ideal for a couple or a smaller family.
Elionas Cottage feels nicely tucked away, but there are sea views through the trees and when you feel like a meal out or a few hours at the beach, Lakka and the sea are just a five-minute drive or a 15 to 20-minute walk away. It takes a little longer on the uphill return, and if you enjoy walking then this is a wonderful base from which to wander the narrow lanes or explore the coastal paths that lead enticingly to one breath-taking view after another. And when you spot your dream secluded cove from the path, all you need to do is pop down to the local harbour, pick up a picnic and hire a boat to take you there for the perfect Paxos day out. With your own pristine pool, a generous terrace and the promise of glorious west coast sunsets, this is also a prime spot to relax and spend a week or two of not doing very much at all.

Elionas is a peaceful haven - it offers total relaxation in luxurious accommodation. Perfect for those who want a complete rest. Can't recommend it highly enough . You have everything you need at your finger tips including Lakka at the end of the road for provisions.
Wonderful week in Paxos. Our villa was lovely peaceful and quiet but within walking distance of Lakka. Chris was an excellent representative with helpful recommendations for local restaurants and activities. He was super responsive if we had any questions. Would definitely recommend Simpson and travel with them again.
Our choice of Greek properties is as diverse as the islands themselves, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.
* For further clarification on Facilities and Amenities, please view the 'Details' tab for each property or speak to one of our experienced sales consultants.
Barely eight miles from tip to tail, Paxos is pint-sized perfection. The only way to get here is by boat from Corfu, which rules out mass development and makes room for a true luxury villa holiday experience. Beloved by the boating crowd, there's a definite buzz in the main summer months and an excellent choice of restaurants that cater for visiting flotilla.
There are few better ways of relaxing than on a luxury holiday in Paxos, where days fill up beautifully with sunbathing, swimming, snorkelling and dining in style, the sea just metres from your table. Amble through ancient olive groves and you’ll catch glimpses of startlingly turquoise bays, the dramatic west-coast cliffs or the Epiros Mountains. In spring, there’s also a haze of purple honesty, wild irises and lilies and a sky that’s alive with birdlife, from hawks to skylarks.
Complete the picture with a stay in one of our handpicked luxury villas or our unique Adult Only Simpson Hotels and make the most of this peaceful island.
