2-day Tour – Lipari and Vulcano

Explore the wonders of the Aeolian Islands with a 2-day, 1-night tour of Lipari and Vulcano

Welcome to the enchanting world of the Aeolian Islands, where breathtaking views and the magic of adventure await you! If you dream of discovering the natural beauty of Lipari and Vulcano, we have the perfect tour for you.

Our 2-day, 1-night tour will take you through two of the most fascinating islands of the Aeolian archipelago.

DAY 1:

Arrival in Lipari in the morning. Check-in is available from 1 pm, but the hotel offers you the option of leaving your luggage earlier.

Take advantage of the morning to visit the island. Stroll through the streets of Lipari and Corso Vittorio Emanuele, dotted with small shops and bars where you can enjoy a refreshing ‘granita‘. Here you can also find characteristic ceramic objects, capers and the characteristic Malvasia liqueur. Explore the Lipari Cathedral, an extraordinary testament to art and history, and the Lipari Castle. Its history dates back to prehistoric times and has seen a succession of civilisations over the centuries. From this fortress overlooking the sea, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the island and the surrounding sea. Finally, don’t forget to make a stop at the Geophysical Observatory, from where you can admire one of the most beautiful views of the island, with a panoramic view of most of the Aeolian Islands.

Spend the day visiting Lipari Island by yourself.

Overnight stay at the hotel.

What to see on Lipari Island

• For the architecture lovers, we recommend the Baroque church of San Giuseppe and the Sanctuary of Maria Santissima della Catena, from whose terrace you can enjoy a panorama that will leave you breathless. For another marvellous view, go to the Quattrocchi viewpoint, from which you can also admire the island of Vulcano.
• If you are an archaeology lover, don’t miss the Luigi Bernabò Brea Aeolian Archaeological Museum, containing artefacts from different eras found during excavations on the Aeolian Islands.
• Not far from Marina Corta, you will find the Piazza Arti e Mestieri, nicknamed ‘Sopra la Terra’ (‘Above the Earth’), which has become a tourist attraction for its murals depicting the inhabitants themselves in glimpses of their everyday life.
• If you want to enjoy relaxing moments by the sea, Lipari has many seaside places. Among the most important are the Spiaggia Bianca and the Spiaggia di Canneto.
• For those who love nightlife, in the summertime, Lipari offers many opportunities, such as concerts, folklore and theatre festivals, as well as many clubs and discos where theme nights are organised.

DAY 2:

Your 2-day tour of Lipari and Vulcano will continue with a visit to Vulcano Island.

8.00 am – Breakfast at the hotel. Check-out to head to the port and embark. Luggage storage offered by the hotel to allow you to enjoy the tour in comfort and tranquillity.

9.15 am – Reach the port of Marina Corta in Lipari. Here you will embark to be transferred to the island of Vulcano, a land of primordial strength and beauty. Stop for an independent visit.

Enjoy the thermal waters of the Baia delle Acque Calde, immersing yourself in a paradise of relaxation and well-being. Be captivated by the majesty of the Baia delle Sabbie Nere, a unique beach of black sand of volcanic origin. But the adventure doesn’t end there! Get ready for a thrilling ascent to the crater of Vulcano, where you can admire views that will leave you breathless and remain etched in your memory.

On the island it is possible to rent bicycles or scooters, even for a few hours.

What to see on Vulcano Island

• Vulcanello, a vantage point over Lipari and an excellent location to admire its famous Faraglioni.
• The Valle dei Mostri (Valley of Monsters), characterised by the presence of lava rocks that, depending on the point of observation and the shadows cast on the ground, form monstrous figures.
• Baia delle Sabbie Nere, a recommended location for bathing.

• Spiaggia dell’Asino, a small bay set in volcanic rock.

Next, you will reach the Gelso locality and the Piscina di Venere, a natural pool surrounded by tufa and basalt rocks. This magical place is shrouded in legend.
