One of the most notoriously popular islands in Greece, Kos rests on the Aegean Sea among many other small islands. Kos boasts stunning beaches, both busy and secluded, rugged coastlines and delicious authentic Greek restaurants, however, it has become most well-known to the public for its intense nightlife. Millions of young holidaymakers from around the globe, but typically Europe, flock there for the constant parties, cheap alcohol and budget accommodation. Away from the party strip, Kos does have more serene areas that will be of great interest to visitors who enjoy cultural and historical landmarks. There are several remains of Greek ruins dotted around the island, as well as highly regarded museums surrounded by lush greenery – a free and relaxing way to spend the day. In the evening there are plenty of restaurants along the beach offering delicious food next to the peaceful sounds of the ocean. In and around the port area are several travel offices and sales reps trying to promote their daily excursions. For those wishing to try their hand at jet-skiing or riding a speedboat it provides a convenient way to organise the holiday. For visitors hoping for peace and quiet, the port is probably best to be avoided. Ferry routes from the port head all over the country of Greece, including the capital city of Athens, which may offer a pleasant change of pace. There are also crossings to popular island groups and Bodrum in Turkey.
Lipsi is a tiny Greek Island geographically located between Patmos and Leros, resting on the Aegean Sea. There are several routes departing from Lipsi Port, nearly all of them are fairly short and head to other nearby Greek Islands. Only those who are in need of a truly relaxing, tranquil holiday make their way over to the quiet beaches and crystal waters of Lipsi. The only activity that is required on the island is to climb the hiking trails that lead to some of the beaches, or board the small buses that transport passengers to the more secluded areas. The beaches may be slightly inconvenient to reach, yet there lies their charm; they are all largely untouched by tourism and offer a unique landscape that is unlike any other. The main town offers the usual selection of quaint cafes and souvenir shops, with the occasional hidden gem for keen shoppers. The traditional Greek restaurants generally serve fish fresh from the waters – a popular choice for anyone who enjoys seafood. Most of the restaurants and hotels are located in the town, yet they are within walking distance of all the main beaches, including the beautiful Platis Gialos Beach. Lipsi’s beauty lies in its small size; the island is entirely accessible by foot so tourists will have no problem getting around. Most locals or resort workers will be happy to point visitors in the direction of the port should they need assistance.
