Lipari island

A tour around the island, which takes about four hours, with a rental car, can cover almost all of it. Except for observations of the nearby islands and a visit to a well-tended church in the north of the island, we were not impressed by the beauty of the great island of the Aeolian islands, for which the Lippers are named.

The city centre of Lipari is charming, with plenty of designer shops and many restaurants, up alleys and greenery, remains only a choice… A tour of the narrow streets of the city allows for a closer look at the urban life in Italy, the ‘living room’ facing the alley.

The restaurant kitchens, as well as those considered prestigious, offer a glimpse into the cook’s work, some of which have a wide window to the street, and this is apparently what the restaurant planners wanted. Romantics will probably choose a wine shop/bar, near the square overlooking the southern port, offering fine wines with a selection of cheeses and “opening” dishes, most of which feature the typical snorkel buds and, finally, the famous Malvasia dessert wine.

Within the walls of the old city, it is recommended to visit the Volcanic Museum and the Archaeological Museum, which are invested and closed (Sunday closed) and the large cathedral, with frescoes and the ancient part of the church, also visible from the sea. A beautiful view from the reconstructed amphitheatre to the south of the city and the fishing harbour.
