About Lipsi
Lipsi is a tiny, sun-soaked island between Patmos and Leros, easily reached by local ferries and day-trip boats from both. Its one village sits around a modest harbor with a handful of tavernas and a bakery.
What Lipsi lacks in sights it makes up for with genuinely beautiful, easy-to-reach beaches like Platys Gialos and Katsadia, and a relaxed, welcoming community.
