Lipsi, Greece’s “Mythical” Island, According to The Times

The British newspaper The Times has named Lipsi, a gem in the Dodecanese, as Greece’s top island, celebrated for its “mythical” beauty and ancient legends. In a recent list of the 16 most serene Greek island destinations, The Times highlights Lipsi’s enchanting allure.

The international outlet notes, “You won’t be the first to be utterly captivated by this stunning Dodecanese island. According to ancient mythology, Calypso enchanted Odysseus, who succumbed to the ‘nets of charm’ of this gifted land for some time. In modern times, travelers are equally captivated by Lipsi’s mesmerizing turquoise waters and spectacular beaches. From the sandy shores of Platis Gialos and Kambos to the pebbled Monodendri, visitors can hardly resist the temptation of Lipsi’s dreamy beaches. Traveling to Lipsi is no longer an odyssey but has been greatly simplified.” according to visitgreece.gr

This new accolade aligns with the Municipality of Lipsi’s campaign to showcase the island’s untouched and exotic natural environment, a result of the local community’s sustainable initiatives. The island has said “no” to organized umbrellas, sunbeds, and the construction of swimming pools, preserving its pristine character.

“These efforts have borne fruit. We remain an unspoiled island, offering modern tourism services that leave our visitors thoroughly satisfied. It’s no coincidence that we’ve seen consecutive record-breaking arrivals in recent years. For us, it’s a challenge to preserve and promote our mythical beauty in a meaningful and creative way,” said Lipsi Mayor Fotis Mangos.

Notably, the music video “Kiss of Fire” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8qEWX269Ic), which garnered over 200,000 views in just a few months, is the third music video filmed on the island of Calypso in recent years. This supports the municipality’s strategy for innovative promotion through the power of music and visuals.
