Ortholithos Rock of Paxos

The Ortholithos Rock is an impressive rock situated off the coast of Paxos Island. Ortholithos literally identifies an upright standing rock, and that is what it actually is. Pined in the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea, the Ortholithos Rock adds to the scenery along with a large sea cave situated on the opposite shore. The sea cave is equally impressive and has deep blue waters, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The Ortholithos Rock is over 20 meters high and faces the spectacular rocks of Petritis. If you are ever in Paxos, do not miss taking a day cruise to Ortholithos to take some great photos of the rock and the surrounding landscape as well as to enjoy the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea.
