Lipari Island Tour

During your drive, stops are made at the most panoramic viewpoints to take in magnificent vistas of some of the other islands of the archipelago, including Vulcano, Salina and Panarea. Witness the immense stretches of clean, sparkling sea, jagged coastlines and a pallet of colour that includes lush green vegetation, black, red and grey volcanoes, and yellow rocks and beaches. Other viewpoints encountered during your drive offer splendid views of the other Eolian Islands on a clear day.

Lipari has a very long and distinguished history. The Aeolian Islands have a place in mythology, and certainly they were inhabited as far back as 5,000 BC. The island has a rare and valuable resource: black volcanic obsidian, used for knives and sharp implements.

During the demonstration, you can try your hand at making your own pizza pie according to your own personal tastes.
