Lipari is the largest island of the Aeolian archipelago. It’s located off the north coast of Sicily, in the Tyrrhenian Sea. With an aera of 37 km2, it is part of the Province of Messina.

As all the others Aeolian Islands, Lipari was created by volcanic eruptions; the chain of volcanoes that created the Aeolian Islands goes from the Vesuvius volcano to Mt.Etna.

We suggest you to watch this nice video of photos about Lipari that we found on Youtube.

Lipari is a popular destination for holidays in Sicily, and many travellers use it as an headquarter to explore the rest of the archipelago. The island of Lipari offers indeed a wide range of hotels, B&B, houses for rent to choose from. There are also many restaurants, bar and cafè, and during summer you can find also a nice events program, with concerts and shows taking place in the main village.

To reach Lipari, you will need to get a ferry; the easiest solution is to reach Milazzo, and then take a ferry with Siremar or Ustica Lines.
