If you are visiting the Ionian Islands on June 29th, the Gaios Festival on Paxos is an unmissable event. As the patron saints of the island, Saints Peter and Paul are honored with a celebration that takes over the entire capital.

The festivities begin with a grand religious procession through the picturesque, Venetian-style streets of Gaios, led by the local Philharmonic bands. As night falls, the celebration moves to the main square and the waterfront.
