Lipari, the largest of the Aeolian Islands has plenty to offer.
Watch for recommended docking spots, tips for getting around the island, where we had great lunch, and of course – the best slice of Pizza in town – Pizzeria Pescecane! 🍕
Docking options:
Marina Pigantaro lies at the N end of Lipari Roadstead The breakwater pier is for fishing boats You can dock closer to the city in rada di lipari but these platforms are open to the bay and are affected by winds and by the wake from traffic entering the city’s port.
