Lipsi: Fishermen mending nets on the quay, in front of the church
With it’s whitewashed buildings and blue domes, Lipsi is like a miniature version of Santorini, but at a lower altitude, and with better beaches and fewer tourists!
It’s a great place to relax with virtually no traffic and everything within walking distance. Indeed, the island is small enough you could walk from one end to another.
There are three beaches nearby, Lendou/Liendou, Kambos and Elena. Lendou is closest, about 10 minutes from the harbour and is mostly sand.
There are a couple of churches to visit, Panaghia of Haros about a mile out of town, and Aghios Ioannis next to the main square where you’ll also find the Ecclesiastical & Folklore Museum.
A few small shops and a couple of tavernas complete the set up. So pull up a chair in the main square and unwind.
