"We, as a municipal authority, have never allowed umbrellas and deckchairs to exist on beaches for years. And we did this because our island is small. The geomorphology of the beaches does not allow you to place even a few, and we also know very well that the right you grant to some entrepreneurs is always circumvented", said the mayor of Lipsi, Fotis Maggos, speaking to public broadcaster ERT.

Another important step towards sustainable tourism was made by the people of Lipsi, aiming at the correct use of water resources produced through desalination. In the context of a global initiative that implements the finish in Greece with the Global Water Partnership - Mediterranean (GWP-Med), an action group with the active support of the Municipality of Lipsi, they equipped all households on the island with special water-saving filters, showing the correct way of use of the devices and assisting in their placement.

Lipsi is ranked in the top ten alternative destinations of the world, according to Girovagate.com, one of the largest travel blogs in Italy.
