Lipari
Pietralunga with Vulcano in the background...We headed north from Taormina for about 25 minutes to the port town of Messina. The Ustica
hydrofoil station and ticket office were easy to find and were just a short distance to the Europcar dropoff
point. We arrived in the town of Lipari at the Marina Lunga after a relatively calm 45 minutes
crossing of the Straits of Messina.
Our hotel, Villa Meligunis was conveniently located near the other marina, Marina Corta. After
breakfast we would walk the short distance (<150 meters) to the marina where we met Giancarlo and
boarded the Alice, a comfortable 8 meter motorboat. For the first two days, we toured Lipari and Salina
by boat. On day three we took a break from the water and visited the Duomo and Museo Archeologico.
On the fourth day we were back on board the Alice to tour Panarea and the nearby offshore islands. In
all, we were able to comfortably explore an island each day stopping whenever we chose to snorkel,
beachcomb, sunbath, eat or whatever. At night we were back in the town of Lipari where we could eat
in one of the fine restaurants, watch the passegiata, or visit the local Guitar Bar....ahhh....La Dolce
Lipari
