Lipari, Italy

When referring to Italian islands, the majority of travelers will likely recall Sicily and Sardinia, but fortunately, they are not the only ones in the Tyrrhenian Sea you can choose for a nice Italy vacation. Speaking of smaller yet also alluring spots, we are glad to introduce you to the Aeolian Islands, and charming Lipari in particular. Being the biggest and the most accessible of this volcanic group of islands, Lipari is a nice example of an off-the-beaten-path destination, perfectly demonstrating the relaxed lifestyle of remote Italian corners.

The main hub and busiest port of the whole archipelago is Lipari Town, a fascinating city with a typically Mediterranean pastel-colored seafront and nice opportunities for immersing deeper into the local life. Those planning to set off on a Lipari city tour just can't leave behind the main street, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, which is quite peculiar from the architectural point of view, housing beautiful buildings of different styles and epochs.

The Aeolian Islands are a unique place and we bet you'll like to get something special to remember the trip. The real souvenir hallmark of Lipari is original jewelry from obsidian, volcanic black glass which will be a great reminder of your Aeolian vacation. Plus, to spice up your experience on the island, make sure to treat yourself to a tasting of the famed local high-quality wines.
