All these small islands can be visited with daily tours leaving from the main island of Lipsi or Leros. The surface of the main island of Lipsi is 16 square kilometers with a coastline of 35 kilometers.

Because the island is small it is easy to go around hiking. On the island there is taxi service and a bus to take you to the beaches near by, there are scooter or bike rentals a most preferable way to go around.

On Lipsi there are some beautiful sandy beaches, like Platis Gialos Toyrkomnima and hohlakoura with its clear green blue waters. On the small natural port located the capital, with its small white houses and its beautiful square, where there can be found taverns, cafeterias and restaurants .

Lipsi becomes crowded during the 30 of August when the festivity of the Madonna is carried out and many visitors from the neighboring islands of Leros Kalymnos and Patmos visiting the island.

Situated in the Dodecanese only 50 minutes by ferry or 25 minutes by hydrofoil from Patmos, Lipsi, or Lipsos as it is sometimes known, is the largest of the minor islands to the north and east of Patmos. Most of the inhabitants live around the pretty little harbour. It is here that you will find what few facilities exist on the island including a handful of tavernas, mini-market, post office and a couple of cafes. Beaches are generally not crowded and sandy, none more than an hour’s walk from the village. The nearest, Lendou, is only a few minutes' walk from the harbour whilst Kambos, Plati Gialos, Monodendri and Katsadia lie further afield and involve some footwork. Boat trips to neighbouring Marathi, Patmos and Leros are all possibilities but in the main this is very much a relaxing, doing little, unwinding holiday on what remains an unspoilt Greek Island.
