Antipaxos (Greek: Αντίπαξος, pronounced [ɐnˈdipɐksos]) is a small island (5 km2) in Greece, about 3 kilometres (2 miles) to the south of Paxos. It is administratively part of the municipality of Paxoi in Corfu regional unit in western Greece. As of 2021, the resident population of the island was 21.[1] Largely covered in vineyards, Antipaxos has several beaches and one harbour, Agrapidia.
