About the Beach

Platis Gialos is widely considered the most beautiful beach on Lipsi, featuring a wide sandy shore and exceptionally shallow, glowing turquoise water. It is a very friendly and social destination, popular with families and travelers who appreciate the high-quality sea and the presence of a traditional taverna right on the sand. The water remains shallow for a long distance, making it feel like a giant, shimmering swimming pool. While it is one of the island's main attractions, it maintains a very laid-back and unpretentious character. The bay is often filled with ducks and local goats that wander near the water, adding a unique and charming local flavor to the scene. It is a must-visit for anyone seeking the quintessential, bright-water experience of the Dodecanese. The clarity and color of the sea here are truly legendary and unforgettable.
