Lipsi has secured the number one spot among Greek destinations offering alternative activities for British travelers, according to the well-known travel blog Jonny Melon.
Following closely in the rankings are the Western Cyclades, Athens, Santorini, the Saronic Gulf, and Meteora, according to protothema.gr.
As highlighted in an extensive feature on Calypso’s island, “Lipsi offers an exciting escape in Greece, with numerous nature trails, picturesque churches, beaches with turquoise waters, and exotic islets.”
During the same period, Lipsi was also ranked among the top ten Greek islands for sailing excursions, as announced by the professional website deyachting.net. This hidden gem of the Dodecanese is described in the feature as a “small island with a big heart.”
“Lipsi has a dedicated following of nature and adventure lovers from abroad that continues to grow. Italy, the UK, France, and Germany are just some of the markets that in recent years have shown increasing interest in visiting the island outside of peak season for alternative activities. As part of our effort, we invite influencers and opinion leaders to convey the uniqueness of our destination to niche-interest audiences,” stated Fotis Mangos, Mayor of Lipsi.
Notably, 2024 marked another record-breaking year for ferry arrivals to Lipsi. A previous record was set in 2023, while in 2022, the island exceeded its 2019 benchmark for ferry traffic, recording a 25% increase in visitors compared to 2021.
