Details About Lipari

Destinations » Mediterranean » Mediterranean - Western » Lipari


A visually spectacular panorama unfolds while cruising the Lipari Islands. By day, the scenery is rugged, and untamed...painted against a backdrop of plunging cliffs, charming hillside cottages, and active volcanoes...while after sunset, showers of red sparks and a semmingly flourescent glow light up the sky. Rising from the sea just off the coast of Sicily, the beauty of this volcanic archipelago is unforgettable.

Attractions

In a bay on Lipari’s east coast lies the main town of the same name. It is dominated by the Castello. Sheltered within its walls stand the cathedral and the former Bishop's Palace, now home to the Archaeological Museum. North of the Castello is the fishermen’s quarter. To the south lie the warehouses in which the island’s exports, pumice stone, currants, Malvasia wine, capers and figs, are stored for shipment. At the local marina, there is a constant coming and going of hydrofoils and boats making trips to neighboring islands.

Shopping

Main shops are located along Corso Vittorio Emanuele. Look for ceramics, antiques, jewelry and souvenirs made from obsidian. Some shops may close between 12:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Currency

The Euro (EUR), the currency of the European Union, is the official currency of Italy.
