The Lipari Islands are an archipelago of small Sicilian islands.

There are seven islands in total: Lipari, Vulcano, Salina, Panarea, Stromboli, Alicudi and Filicudi.

The Lipari Islands are incredibly beautiful and very popular with locals and tourists alike. The Lipari or Aeolian Islands are an archipelago of small Sicilian islands, of volcanic origin, which spreads out in a precious necklace near Sicily.

Lipari is the largest and most picturesque inhabited island of the seven Aeolian Islands. Here you can see the historic part of the town with its fortress, with its archaeological museum and cathedral. The island of Vulcano has boiling mud baths, spewing waters, steam and gaisers. Salina Island is located in the centre of the archipelago. Panarea is the smallest inhabited island of the Lipari archipelago. It is considered one of the most picturesque islands. Stromboli is one of the most active volcanoes in Europe and if we are lucky, we can see the volcanic eruption directly from the sea. Alicudi and Filicudi are the smallest but no less interesting islands of the archipelago with extinct craters.

The islands are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
