Loggos or Longos is the smallest of the island ports on Paxi. It is not much more than a cluster of flower-decked houses on the north east coast overlooking a small fishing harbour. There are several mini markets and a bakery, a couple of bars and a kafenion. At one end of Loggos harbour stands the tall chimney of a disused soap factory.

Just south of Loggos is an attractive shingle beach at Levericho. Its proximity to Loggos makes it busier than most. There are shingle beaches nearby at Kipos and Marmari. The latter set in a pretty bay with the advantage of shade from the olive trees that grow down to the shoreline. There are small coves in the area though many can only be reached by boat. Further south is Pounda, with access along a track from the main road. The track branches south and down a very steep track to a long pebble beach at Kipiadi.
