The caves of the west coast

The west coast of Paxos has no villages and almost no way down to the water. Instead it is a long run of white cliffs pierced by sea caves, where the light reflected off the sandy floor turns the water inside a glowing blue. Off the shore stands Ortholithos, the 'upright stone', a tall, thin sea stack rising alone from the water. You see all this from a boat, either on an excursion from Gaios, Lakka or Loggos, which usually goes on to Antipaxos, or in a small motorboat hired for the day.
