Leipsoi is a small group of islets at the northern part of the Dodecanese near to Patmos island and Leros.

A 960-metre-long (3,150 ft) paved path carved into the hill connects the upper quarters of Kimissi with the lower ones.

Local products include thyme honey (produced the traditional way), wine, cheese, dairy products (touloumotyri cheese, the local version of mizithra) and grapes.

Other products are loom-woven fabrics, carpets and "fookadia" (cloth pouches used to strain cheese).

These include the church of Aghios Nektarios, built in or about 1980 by father Nikiforos, the parochial priest of Lipsi at the time and a favorite baptistry for the inhabitants of the island.
