About Ozias & Mongonisi
At the southern end of Paxos the coast breaks up into small inlets facing Antipaxos. Mongonisi is a little islet joined to the main island by a narrow strip, with a sandy beach and a taverna, a rare thing on an island of pebbles. Next to it the inlet of Ozias is a natural harbour for small boats, ringed by olive trees. It is the end of the road, and it feels like it.
