his trident in an effort to escape the hustle of everyday
life. All Inclusive Excursions invites you to explore this
small Grecian paradise and see what makes it such a
great destination for travel.

Paxos
With a history that spans from prehistory to today, the first settlers of Paxos are said to be the Phoenicians.
Battles over the island and surrounding areas were frequent throughout the centuries by the Romans, pirates,
crusaders, and later the Venetians at the end of the 14th century. Later, French and British forces joined the
battle and by 1864, Paxos was ceded to the Greek State as it remains today.
