“We came to the Eolia,
where the delighted Immortals of the Ippota son,
Eolo, lived in a boat island,
There is a wall of shatterproof copper
And a smooth surrounding exquisite cliff.
Odissea Libro X, 1-5″

The Aeolian archipelago formed by seven volcanic islands, located on the north east coast of Sicily, is part of UNESCO and is considered a human heritage. Lipari, the largest island, is common to all the other except for Salina, which has its own administrative center.

In addition to being famous for its climate and scenic beauty, this community of about 10,000 people is remembered for its cultural heritage.The museum, born on the ruins of an ancient Norman monastery, is one of the most important in the world thanks to the richness of its ancient finds and the numerous rooms that host them.

The island is also a destination for those who like to visit untouched natural environments by strolling through the old mule track.

The Corso, the main street, is for locals and tourists who in the evening decide to dine in typical local trattorias and listen to some live music in the different piano bars.

Going up the main street, you will arrive to Piazza Marina Corta, an ancient fishing village as well as the living room of the island.
