Fishing Explore in Paxos Island

Exploring the serene waters of Paxos Island for a fishing adventure promises an unforgettable experience. This small island, part of the Ionian Islands of Greece, is renowned for its crystal-clear waters, enchanting coves, and rich marine life, making it an ideal destination for anglers and nature enthusiasts alike.

Before You Go

Gear and Bait

Prepare your tackle – light to medium rods are suitable for the variety of fish you’ll encounter. Lures and live baits such as shrimp or squid can be effective in these waters. Local shops on the island can provide you with the necessary gear and bait if you prefer not to bring your own.

Licenses

Ensure you have the appropriate fishing license if necessary, which can be acquired from local authorities. Regulations are strict in Greece to preserve marine life, so it’s important to adhere to local rules and guidelines.

Hire a Local Guide

Consider hiring a local guide. They can provide invaluable insights into the best fishing spots and techniques that are effective in the local waters.

Where to Fish

Lakka Bay

Lakka Bay is sheltered and calm, making it a perfect spot for beginners or those who prefer a more relaxed fishing experience. The waters here are teeming with small to medium-sized fish.

The West Coast

The dramatic cliffs and deep waters off the west coast of Paxos are home to larger species. Here you can expect to catch bigger prey, such as dentex, amberjack, and perhaps even tuna.

Erimitis Beach

Accessible by boat, Erimitis beach on the north of the island is a hidden gem. The surrounding waters are less frequented and offer a tranquil fishing environment.

Around Antipaxos

A short trip to the nearby island of Antipaxos provides even more secluded spots. The waters here are exceptionally clear and home to a variety of fish species.

Fishing Techniques

Shore Fishing

Shore fishing is popular and can be done directly off the rocks or beaches. It’s relaxing and suitable for families or individuals who want to enjoy fishing without venturing too far into the water.

Boat Fishing

Chartering a boat allows you to explore further afield. Trolling and drifting are common techniques used here. Exploring the caves and rock formations by boat can also lead to productive fishing areas.

Spearfishing

Spearfishing is a thrilling way to engage with the underwater world of Paxos. However, it requires experience and respect for local regulations concerning protected species and no-fishing zones.

Conservation and Etiquette

When fishing in Paxos, it’s crucial to practice catch and release, especially with species that are not intended for consumption. Maintaining the health of the marine ecosystem is important for the local community and future fishing prospects.

Best Time to Go

The best time for fishing in Paxos is from late spring to early autumn, as the weather is more stable and the waters are warmer, which is more conducive to active fish behaviour.

After the Catch

Once you’ve made your catch, you can end your day by cooking your fish at a local grill or asking a taverna if they can prepare it for you. Enjoying the fruits of your labor with a view of the sunset over the Ionian Sea is a perfect conclusion to your fishing adventure in Paxos.

With its mix of tranquil coves, rich marine life, and the allure of the Mediterranean lifestyle, fishing in Paxos offers more than just the catch—it provides a holistic experience of connecting with nature and indulging in the laid-back rhythm of island life.
