The largest of the Wind Islands, the Aeolian Islands, is a wonderful island to visit and enjoy your well-deserved holidays. One of the seven pearls of the Mediterranean, so is called the archipelago, is well organized and reachable by scheduled ferries or with the own boat.

Lipari has countless accommodation facilities. It has more than ten thousand inhabitants in winter while in summer it is the destination for many tourists who want to explore its sea and its land.

Like the other islands of the archipelago it is of volcanic origin and still a part of the volcanoes is considered still active. It is also called white island for its particular light color, thanks to the massive presence of pumice stone, a volcanic material that floats in the water.

Beautiful walks along the old paths between dry stone walls and caper crops. The wonderful sea gives moments of pure happiness and sometimes surprises with discoveries of ancient ships. In fact, thousands of archaeological finds have been found in the waters around Lipari that you can admire in the Aeolian Archaeological Museum.

The most beautiful beaches and bays you obviously access from the sea but even if you don't own a boat, there are the inhabitants of the island who are there take you to the most beautiful places to bathe or simply all around the island. It is superfluous to tell you that the wonderful cuisine is based on simple and healthy dishes of fresh fish and capers.

Castles, palaces and mansions

Castello di Lipari

The castle was built on a plateau that can be found on a cliff next to the sea, from archaeological research and studies of the conformation of the rock the area appears to have been inhabited for about 6000 years. This rock for the inhabitants has always represented a natural defense against attacks from the sea. The current structure was constructed in the course of the sixteenth century by Charles V as a result of a harsh attack on the city perpetrated by the Tunisian captain Kairedin Barbarossa who deported'' almost all the inhabitants.
