Rinella is the epitome of a small port village; little activity resides away from the port other than a local shop and a restaurant serving classic Italian cuisine. Very few forms of accommodation are prominent, as a result nearly everyone who visits the village only does so on the way to a more appealing holiday destination. The small size of Rinella doesn’t adhere to many attractions, however the beach offers a couple of decent swimming spots that are usually fairly empty.
Whilst waiting around the port, the incredible mountainside is the perfect setting to enjoy the fine weather and peaceful atmosphere. The locals will point you in the direction of the ferry terminal and the staff are typically very welcoming and friendly to the passengers.
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.
