The largest of the Aeolian Islands, an island group off the west coast of Sicily, Lipari is a volcanic archipelago with transport links to Sicily. The only ferry route out of Lipari typically lasts around an hour and heads to Milazzo on the island of Sicily. Most visitors will opine Lipari as a relaxing holiday destination, but for those travelling from neighbouring Aeolian Islands it may seem like a busy, vibrant island. The main town hosts the ferry terminal, and around the harbour, tourists are offered the chance to sample authentic Italian cuisine at the many restaurants dotted around the charming, narrow streets. Aside from food, there are ample shops selling souvenirs and several vintage wine stores offering high quality wine at an affordable price. The town is so aesthetically pleasing that many hours could be spent wandering around the quaint streets, decorated with colourful houses hosting friendly, welcoming locals. For a splash of culture, head to the highly regarded archaeology museum, or to the impressive churches and cathedrals residing around the area. Away from the town, there are rugged coastlines to be explored, hot thermal springs to enjoy and pebble and sand beaches perfect for a relaxing day bathing in the sun. Lipari’s desirability is in its ability to appease everyone who visits. The vast majority of the hotels and apartments are in Lipari Town, therefore it is a relatively short walk to the ferry terminal. Most resorts will book a taxi to the port for their guests, or offer directions for any lost tourists.
Incredible food and the remarkable national museum are the upper crust of the rugged city of Reggio Calabria. The all-encompassing history of Italy’s south is showcased in the myriad of artefacts, statues and relics that are heavily guarded, though there isn’t much beauty to see outside of the museum; an earthquake at the beginning of the 20th Century destroyed much of the infrastructure and, aesthetically, Reggio Calabria hasn’t quite recovered. Although the historical architecture may be lacking, the natural landscape across Lungomare Sea is brimming with precipitous rock formations and breathtaking views. Whist some choose to drive along the coastal road, hiking the challenging walking trails provides the most satisfaction. Few feelings better the sense of accomplishment that materialises from climbing the steep hills underneath the rays of the Mediterranean sun, especially in the summer when the weather lends itself to an afternoon stroll. After working up an appetite ascending the mountainside, sample some of the best food in Magna Graecia at the number of fine quality restaurants, typically serving seafood fresh from the water.
Bus services are in operation around the city centre, with tickets usually proving very affordable.
