Lipsi

Background

Lipsi (Λειψοί) is a small but neat island. Its town, and harbor, is very attractive and well kept. It seems that many of today's inhabitants had at one time immigrated to Australia and have now returned. They brought with them a certain amount of affluence and a more cosmopolitan outlook than one would expect on such a small island.

Ports and Popular Stops

There are several coves but only one harbor.

Lipsi Harbor

The small harbor of Lipsi (Λειψοί) [37°18 N 026°46 E], is at the SW of the island. There is a light (Fl W 3s 6M) at the N entrance. It is very well protected from all the winds but there are very strong gusts during the meltemi. One can moor either stern-to or alongside the new concrete quay or the floating dock.

It is also possible to anchor offshore in two small coves just W of the quay one is under a nice church [37° 17.8' N 26° 45.3' E] and the other is just N of it [37° 17.9' N 26°45.5] anchor in 6-7 m over sand, good holding.

On the E of the harbor, is a fairly large bay [37° 17.5' N 26° 45.8' E] that affords excellent protection from the southerlies. The water here is muddy and the bottom is mostly mud and weed. Anchor in 5 m and be sure to test the holding.

The town is a very pleasant with many attractive places to eat, especially in the summer months.
