Lipsi
Background
Lipsi (Λειψοί) is a small but neat island. Its town, and harbor, is very attractive and well kept. It seems that many of today's inhabitants had at one time immigrated to Australia and have now returned. They brought with them a certain amount of affluence and a more cosmopolitan outlook than one would expect on such a small island.
