South across the sea about one mile from Paxos lies the tiny island of AntiPaxos, just four kilometres long and two kilometres wide. The island is owned in individual plots by Paxiot families and although there are very few houses here, those families who have built a small home on AntiPaxos come here for their holidays and to cultivate grapes. An undulating interior of hillsides, carpeted by maquis, contains small vineyards above beaches of sand and pebble. A network of narrow tracks lead from the small harbour of Agrapidia up to the interior and past the occasional cottage with gardens of fruit trees, vegetables and vineyards. The local grape produces a rich, red and unique wine.
