About Lipari
Lipari is the largest of the Aeolian Islands and the one with the deepest story to tell: a fortified acropolis above the harbour, a castle that layers Greek, Roman, Norman and Spanish rule, and an archaeological museum that holds some of the Mediterranean's finest finds. A cruise is the most natural way to read that story, since the islands' history was written by the sea. The Lipari and Vulcano Day Trip from Milazzo: Nature and Culture Cruise pairs Lipari's old town with Vulcano's volcanic landscape, while the Aeolian Islands Mini-Cruise from Tropea: Vulcano, Lipari & Stromboli adds Stromboli

Frequently asked questions
Lipari's appeal is layered rather than purely scenic. The walled acropolis and castle sit directly above the harbour, the Aeolian Archaeological Museum displays finds from every period of island settlement, and the surrounding islands each carry their own story — Vulcano's volcanic activity, Stromboli's persistent eruptions.
