If you're in search of glittering azure waters and a healthy dose of Greek culture then a boat trip to Antipaxos and Paxos from Parga is a must-do. These islands might be small in terms of size, but they pack a punch with scenery and laid-back Mediterranean feel.

We'll sail over to the sleepy island of Antipaxos first, where you'll drop anchor off the coast for time to swim or just sit and relax on board. Then, it's on to Paxos – but not before a quick detour to some natural sea grottoes and unique rock formations. You'll want your camera for this one.

Peace and quiet reigns Paxos, even in the town of Gaios, the island's capital. You'll have some free time to choose a taverna for lunch, explore the town and its shops or grab your towel for more sunbathing and swimming.
