Dreamlike Hiking Over Volcanic Rock
With an island name like Vulcano, as one of the Lipari Islands is called, there are few questions about the origin of the islands. They are volcanic islands belonging to a chain of volcanoes connected to Vesuvius near Naples or Etna on Sicily. Stromboli Island is home to the eponymous volcano. Thanks to these elevations, a privately-owned holiday home on the Lipari Islands is an ideal starting point for Mediterranean hikes. Whether on the green island of Salina through lush vineyards or on Vulcano through the black volcanic ash that makes the island appear like another world: walks and hikes provide the best impression of the island world. And it always goes at a relaxed and slowed-down island pace. A café in the wonderful alleyways of Lipari's old center creates a perfect holiday atmosphere. St. Bartholomew is the patron saint of the Lipari Islands, and the Church of San Bartolomeo in Lipari served as the cathedral (Dom) of the Diocese of Lipari, which belongs to Messina (Sicily). Definitely worth a visit. Rent a holiday home, apartment, or holiday apartment with a terrace, modern facilities, garden, and prime coastal location according to your personal wishes and enjoy your trip between mountains and water on the Aeolian Islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Bathing Fun on the Largest of the Lipari Islands
The most beautiful beaches and coves of the region can be found on the largest island in the group: Lipari. In the town of the same name, 10,000 of the 14,000 residents live on the Lipari Islands. Beautiful beaches and coves invite you to splash and swim. Many secluded bathing spots can only be reached on foot via well-trodden paths, but the effort is worthwhile, and when you break a sweat, both young and old can cool off in the crystal-clear sea at the end of the path. Back in the lively harbor or colorful streets of Lipari, you surely deserve a big gelato during your dream vacation. A visit to Stromboli Island and its eponymous volcano is an absolute must! Also, take a trip to Canneto or Venetico.
Green Salina Island Provides Capers and Wine
The fertile volcanic rock on Salina Island creates ideal growing conditions for agricultural products. Salina is particularly known for two delicacies: capers and wine. Olive trees have also been growing on the mountainsides for centuries. With these ingredients right on your doorstep, the cuisine on the Lipari Islands is classically Italian and Mediterranean. The fresh fish on the islands are a delicacy and are used in traditional, down-to-earth dishes. Grilled fish, tuna patties, stuffed squid with tomatoes and capers, swordfish roulades... the Lipari cuisine offers a lot for gourmets to discover. Enjoy a glass of local Malvasia wine and let the vacation delight your taste buds.
By Ferry to the Lipari Islands
While the Canary and Balearic Islands are easy and quick to reach for a fantastic trip, the Lipari or Aeolian Islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea have remained untouched by mass tourism - not because a vacation there wouldn't be worthwhile, but probably due to the more complicated journey to the affordable holiday apartment. Guests can only reach the Lipari Islands via the waterway. If you're heading to the island group from Sicily, numerous ferries and hydrofoils depart from Milazzo in northern Sicily and connect the islands by water. Also, ferries from Naples cross the Tyrrhenian Sea and bring guests, if desired, along with their car, to the Lipari Islands. The city at Vesuvius in Campania is easily accessible by plane from Germany. Book a holiday home, a cozy apartment, or a holiday apartment with modern facilities, garden, terrace, and a prime location right on the coast between mountains and water, and enjoy your dream vacation with your loved ones in the idyllic region according to your wishes.
