If you're looking for an idyllic summer holiday in paradise that doesn't cost the earth....

Last year we discovered a beautiful island in Greece after we stumbled upon it totally by chance. Paxos turned out to be the most idyllic summer holiday we've ever had. 

Stunning scenery, incredible views, amazing beaches and the clearest sea you've ever seen... Not to mention great food, peaceful ---- and extremely friendly, laid back people.

We liked it so much that we made a video about the island and the people that work there.
