From Lakka to Loggos: Lakka - Aronatika - Grammatikaiika - Rantatika - Loggos The walker’s orientation and safety is solely their responsibility. The present report, the relevant tracks (gpx) and the rest of the informational material are just supplementary. The proper equipment is necessary, depending on the weather conditions and the nature of the route.  Route’s type: linear Route’s duration: 2 hours Route’s length: 6,500 metres Level of difficulty: easy Suggested season: all seasons, weather permitting The route The route starts from the settlement of Lakka, from where a beautifully landscaped path begins over the western beaches of the settlement, where the walker enjoys the view of the beautiful homonymous bay. A landslide has occurred at one point and increased caution is required. After about 700 metres the path meets a concrete road, which is followed south going uphill. The road passes through olive groves, in a largely shady environment, dotted with beautiful buildings. We continue along the same road for about two kilometres and after passing Aronatika, we follow the path that continues along a wall of privately owned land (there are signs). From this point we very soon reach the wonderful and unique bay of Ipapanti with its vertical cliffs and caves. The view of the bay, which requires increased attention, is breathtaking. There, apart from the vertical rocks and the bay in the background, we enjoy the endless blue of the Ionian Sea. We then head towards the area of Rantatika and the enchanting and evocative site of the church of Ipapanti through a pretty downhill path. The area is shady and overgrown with olive trees, cypresses and other vegetation. After passing Rantatika, we continue our downhill course through the lush vegetation of the ravine and after passing the stream (which doesn't present any difficulty) we climb up the stone cobbled road towards Loggos, where we meet the main asphalt road. At the junction we see the old English tank of 1862 and continue our slightly downhill course from the main asphalt road which leads us to Loggos. At some point, we take a short detour, taking a shortcut through a path, which takes us back to the central asphalt. Less than a kilometre later, we find Loggos with its beautiful beaches, its welcoming shops and the evocative ruins of the old soap factory. In Paxos there is: Health Centre, Police Station and Citizen Service Centre (KEP). Lakka Lakka is a settlement in the North of Paxos. It is nestled at the bottom of a sheltered bay, popular with boats of all kinds for the safety it offers. It takes its name from its Souliotes inhabitants, who, persecuted by Ali Pasha of Ioannina, fled to Paxos.  In its streets you will find small picturesque stone houses. It is surrounded by green hills and has very nice beaches, such as Monodentri and Harami beach. Near Lakka there are also very interesting sea caves. Among them is the most remarkable cave of Hypapanti. Among the sights of the settlement is the Byzantine church of Ipapanti, which dates back to 1600. The church has an impressive bell tower and a well-crafted iconostasis. Also worth visiting is the stone lighthouse, which was built in 1832, is 36 metres high and rises 108 metres above sea level. Loggos Loggos is a small, but very picturesque settlement of Paxos, nestled in pine trees and olive trees. It is 5 km away from Gaios and has about 200 inhabitants.  From the harbour of Loggos, we can, by renting a small boat, navigate the turquoise beaches of the island and its sea caves. Very close to Longos are the exceptional beaches of Levrechio, Marmari, Kipos and Kipiadis. At the edge of the settlement dominates the old oil and soap factory of Anemogiannis, next to the primary school. It is also worth visiting the church of Zoodochos Pigi, whose existence is mentioned since 1739, in order to admire its hagiographies. Every year in the first days of September, Loggos hosts a particularly interesting classical music festival.  Anemogianni Soap Factory in Loggos On our left hand, as we face the harbour of Loggos, we find an imposing ruined building, which is now being repaired. It is the old soap factory of the brothers Stefanos and Ioannis Anemogiannis. It was first operated at the end of the 19th century as an oilseed processing factory, unique in the Balkans in terms of size and equipment. In 1932, under the leadership of Spyros Anemogiannis, a chemist, the expansion of the factory began, which evolved into a soap factory. In its peak, the factory employed 60-70 workers. In the 1960s, after two fires, the factory began to decline. It was finally closed in the 1980s.
