Before planning a route by sea check the weather prior as strong winds often prevent ferries and other transport from departing. Make sure in the height of seasn you have some kind of alternative accommodation as during festival times the island's beds are all full. Last but not least make sure you have a reason that you need to leave the island as you will find that you wan to stay FOREVER!!!!!! I LOVE LIPSI <3 xxxxxxx Melissa (Eleni)
