The Lakka Vlacherna Festival on Paxos is one of the most beautiful events in the Ionian. Held on July 1st and 2nd, the celebration takes place in the horseshoe-shaped bay of Lakka, where the turquoise water reflects the festive lights.

This is a true island-wide celebration. The local community gathers in the harbor to honor Panagia Vlacherna with music and dance. For visitors on Paxos, it’s a rare opportunity to see the island’s traditional side, away from the glitz of the yachting scene. Enjoy fresh local seafood, traditional Greek music, and a festive spirit that only an island panigiri can provide.
