Why Lassi Stands Out
Unspoiled coastline: The village is framed by a dramatic cliff that drops straight into the Aegean Sea. The beach here is a hidden cove, perfect for sunbathing or a quiet swim.
Local culture: Visitors can stroll through narrow lanes lined with traditional stone houses, many of which have been converted into cozy guesthouses and tavernas offering fresh seafood and local wine.
Outdoor adventures: Hiking trails around Lassi provide panoramic views of the island’s lush vegetation and nearby villages. The most popular path leads to a secluded viewpoint overlooking the sea.
