BEFORE YOU GO
A well-planned trip.
How to get around
The port and the center of Lipsi are close together and easy to visit on foot. To reach the more distant beaches, you can consider renting a car or scooter; availability may be limited, especially in high season, so it’s best to check in advance. In summer there may be local connections, but schedules and frequency vary: don’t rely on a service without confirming that it is operating. For boat trips, ask for information at the port or from local operators.
When to go
From May to June and from September to early October, the weather is generally pleasant and the island is quieter. July and August are the hottest and busiest months, but also the ones with the widest choice of connections and services. In spring and autumn, check ferry schedules and the opening hours of accommodations and restaurants, as these may be reduced.
Where to eat
In the center and around the port, you’ll find tavernas and eateries where you can try fish, Greek dishes, and island specialties. During the summer months, it’s a good idea to book for dinner, especially at the most popular places. Ask about the day’s dishes and check the availability of fresh fish, which can vary depending on the catch and the season.
Quick tips
- 01Check ferry schedules shortly before departure: they can change depending on the season and sea conditions.
- 02If you want to rent a vehicle, book it in advance for the months of July and August.
- 03Bring water, a hat, and sunscreen when exploring the beaches, especially if the route is exposed to the sun.
- 04Keep some cash with you: don’t assume you’ll be able to pay by card everywhere.
