Iconic landmarks, hidden caves and crystal-clear waters: Lipari's authentic beauty, seen from the sea
Every excursion around Lipari is a gentle journey into the heart of the Aeolian Islands. We can depart from Lipari, Vulcano or Salina, depending on your preferences and where you are staying.
The itinerary is always shaped by your wishes and the direction of the wind: it can be a full circumnavigation of the island or a shorter route focused on its most iconic spots, with time for swimming and relaxation in quiet bays.
If we depart from Lipari or Vulcano, the day begins with a slow cruise along the southern coast, passing the majestic Faraglioni sea stacks and the secluded bay of Praia Vinci, where the clear water and vertical cliffs make it perfect for a first swim.
We then approach the wild beach of Valle Muria, framed by volcanic cliffs in shades of copper and obsidian. One of Lipari’s most symbolic beaches, it is only accessible by sea or through a long path — silence reigns here.
The coast becomes more jagged as we pass Grotticelle, Cala Fico, and the poetic Lovers’ Cave, known for the glowing, almost surreal reflections in its water. According to local legend, couples who kiss here will stay together forever.
Beyond the Torricelle, the landscape begins to change. The coastline becomes higher and more dramatic, while the soft silhouette of Salina rises on the horizon.
The navigation continues along Lipari’s scenic northern coastline: Acquacalda, with its turquoise waters and the striking pumice quarries that descend white into the blue. Then on to Canneto, lively and seaside in spirit, and finally Monte Rosa, closing the circle with its gentle profile, glowing in the afternoon light.
The tour ends where it began, with your eyes filled with light and your heart carrying the timeless beauty of Lipari as seen from the sea.
