Agni TRAVEL - enjoy Greece, Italy and Turkey

Mongonissi lies about 5 kms south of Gaios, a five-minute drive by car. It is a pretty wooded bay almost closed off by a small islet reached via a causeway. It is a favourite anchorage with yachtsmen, and popular with visitors for its beauty and for its lovely sandy beach - one of only two sandy beaches on Paxos. Swimming is safe and most enjoyable in these delightful surroundings.
 

The Dolphin villas are located here, almost at sea-level on a beautiful headland, and could well be the choice for a really quiet and relaxed holiday - no real need to hire a car, with a large private swimming pool, two pebble beaches below the villas and a gorgeous sandy one opposite. Moreover, there is a cheerful taverna that frequently provides impromptu entertainment as well as excellent food.

Dolphin House: Sleeps 4-5

The private swimming pool is large enough for everyone to enjoy, even if the villas are full, but with excellent beaches just below the villa and the sandy beach just opposite you will often find the pool all to yourself!
 

Equipped with large umbrellas, sun beds and chairs, and with a cool stone-tiled terrace all round, this is a magical spot for a swim, whether you like a lazy float or a calorie-burning sprint, and moreover it will be hard to take your eyes off the view, that stretches as far as the neighbouring island of Anti-Paxos.
 

Pool Dimensions

11.6m x 6m
Depth: Shallow End 0.6m; Deep End 1.8m
 

The gardens are most attractive, with a mix of olive and pine trees, flowering shrubs and palm trees, all beautifully kept. A private parking area is to be found opposite the villas, and each accommodation has its own private access from this parking area.
 

There is a parking area just opposite the villas and for additional privacy, each villa has its own entrance way from the parking area.

The sandy beach of Mongonissi is just opposite the Dolphin Villas (This can be seen in the foreground of the above photo.)
 

The sandy beach of Mongonissi is one of only two sand beaches on Paxos.walking round the bay along the lane and over the bridge/causeway. There is a taverna on the beach that is open all day and often has lively entertainment, with Greek dancing and songs. Kayaks can be hired from the taverna for some enjoyable exploration of the bay. The Paxos sea is remarkably clean and clear and there is some good snorkelling around the rocks of the bay. Mongonissi Beach Paxos
