One of the most breathtaking natural landmarks in Paxos, the Tripitos Arch is a stunning rock formation that rises dramatically from the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea. Located on the west coast of Paxos, just a short walk from Gaios, this magnificent natural archway stands over 20 metres high, offering spectacular panoramic views of the coastline and surrounding turquoise waters. If you’re looking for a scenic hike, an epic photo opportunity, and an unforgettable adventure, the Tripitos Arch Walk is a must-do on your Greek island-hopping journey.

How Do You Get to Tripitos Arch?

The Tripitos Arch Walk begins in Gaios, the charming capital of Paxos, where we dock for the evening. From here, a 30-minute scenic walk takes you along rustic, rocky paths, winding through olive groves, limestone trails, and past small island villages. The route is relatively easy, but be sure to wear sturdy footwear as some areas are uneven. Your Guest Experience Leader will show you how to get there, or might even join your group for the walk!

The Tripitos Arch was carved by centuries of wind and wave erosion, forming a natural bridge that you can actually walk across for an amazing aerial perspective of the Ionian Sea.
