Easy swims
Liendou, also written Lientou, is the close village swim from the studios. Kambos is another easy option near town, while Katsadia and Platis Gialos make better half-day beach plans when you want lunch by the water.

Activities on Lipsi
Lipsi is not a checklist island. The best summer days are built around clear-water swims, short walks, boat trips, and choosing the right beach for the wind.
Wild beach days
Pack water, shoes, and shade for Hohlakoura, Tourkomnima, Xirokampos, Monodendri, Kamares, Papandria, Elena, and Kimisi. Many of these coves are unorganized, rocky, and best visited early or when the wind suits that side of the island.
Boat days
Check the harbor for seasonal five-island cruises such as Rena or Margarita toward Makronisi, Aspronisi, Tiganakia, Marathi, and Arkoi. Local boats also run to nearby islets when weather and schedules allow.
Rentals and taxis
For July and August, reserve cars, scooters, bikes, or boat options as early as you can. Public guides note car and motorbike hire, summer buses to main beaches, taxis, water taxis, and scooter or cycle hire near Poseidon Studios.
Walks and viewpoints
Go early for short walks to Agios Ioannis Theologos above town, Panagia Harou on the way to Hohlakoura, Kimisi, hill paths, chapels, and quiet coves. Long summer walks can be hot, so carry water and keep the midday hours gentle.
Fun extras
Lipsi Winery tastings, horseback riding, and small-island shopping are good add-ons when available. Confirm the day, time, and pickup details locally before planning the whole afternoon around them.
