39° 11.8′ N · 20° 11.0′ E

Gaios has the best provisioning on Paxos: several supermarkets a block or two behind the quay, a butcher, bakeries, a pharmacy and the island's only bank. Local cold-pressed olive oil can be bought straight from the producers.

Practical

Coordinate is OK Supermarket & Deli (OSM). Paxos Market, next to the Gaios bus stop, sells fruit and vegetables, fresh and frozen meat and cheese, and offers free delivery (Paxos Map, 39.19656N 20.18475E).
