Lipsi is a cluster of small islands, which dominates the southeastern Aegean Sea, on the edge of the Dodecanese complex. The largest and only inhabited island of the group is Lipsi or Leipso, which is thought to be the legendary Orygia; the island of Calypso. The charming, simple Chora of Lipsi, the low hills, the olive groves, the ravines and the pristine shores are the main features of this island.

Chora of Lipsi is lazily perched on a hill and extends to its natural harbor. Visit the center of the village with its whitewashed houses and cobbled, winding streets. Major attractions are the Nikoforeio Ecclesiastical Museum, the Archaeological Collection of Lipsi and the Library "Odysseas Elytis". At the highest point of the island, there is the Castle of Lipsi. There, you will see the remains of the citadel, as well as ancient tombs. Moreover, in Kouseli site there are the foundations of an ancient temple. Amongst the religious monuments of Lipsi, the church of Agios Ioannis with its blue dome and two bell towers, Panagia tou Charou (the Lady of Death) and the churches of Kato Panagia and Pano Panagia (Assumption) dominate.

In this small island, several events and festivals are annually organized. Perhaps the most popular is the Wine Festival, held annually in August which includes feasts with music, dancing, traditional dishes and plenty of wine.

The island of Calypso, with its unpretentious charm and intact Aegean color, is ideal for tranquility and relaxation lovers.
