Paxoi Island tour on a scooter

One day a friend from another boat and I decided to see the island of Paxoi from a scooter. This, let me tell you, is the best way to travel on a small island. You can rent one almost anywhere, they are easy to learn to ride, and all you need for the 50 c.c. one is your regular car driver's license. Just be careful, they can be like a rhinoceros charging when you first start one as they go from stop to go very quickly and jerkily.

Once you are under way, the scooter is very practical. They take almost no space on the road, so you can stop on the side to admire a view and for a photograph. And when it's time to park, just pull over next to wherever you're going.

Years ago, on Mikonos, I rented a moped, which had an engine you started by pedaling (and you could pedal it if you ever ran out of gas). It had bigger wheels than the scooter, so it had more surface area to hug the road for better traction. For some reason they're not as popular anymore, but they're still around.

Aaaah, that feels good!

So, which taverna would be the best one for lunch?
