Community structure
After the annexation of the Ionian Islands to Greece, a community Gaios (gr. Dimos Gaianon Δήμος Γαϊανών) was founded in 1866 , which included the archipelago. This municipality was divided into four rural parishes in 1912, which together formed the province of Paxi. In 1957 the rural community of Gaios was renamed Paxi. In 1997 the municipality of Paxi was formed from these municipalities and the province was abolished. Since 2011, Paxi has been divided into the Gaios district and three local communities, each of which has its own local representation. The population figures come from the results of the 2011 census.
- City district Gaios (Γαΐος, 1,196 inhabitants), the actual village Gaios with 498 inhabitants is the seat of the municipality.
- Local community Lakka (Λάκκα, population 446, village 147)
- Local community Longos (Λογγός, 298 inhabitants, village 81)
- Local community Magazia (Μαγαζιά, 360 inh.) With the village Magazia (91) and Platanos (99)
