Lipari the island

Unfortunately I don’t have a shot of the town of Lipari so this is me standing on top of the island with what I think is Salina behind me. Lipari is the hub of the Aeolian Islands with restaurants, ATM’s shops and a great Archaeological Museum. The whole island can be circumnavigated in under an hour with a few stops included. I recommend hiring a scooter for half a day to get your bearings.

You can visit the Roman baths and Spas where hydro thermic waters still flow. Only a short trip out of town and if you get there out of hours as we did a local showed us around and then requested a tip. He was full of information and friendly so that was no problem but it is worth mentioning.

Accommodation is plentiful and this photo shows the view from our small and cheap room however I can image during the high season it going crazy.

Interesting pics! These small islands look like they could be fun in the 'off-season'! Nice baths, reminded me a bit of 'Puente del Inca' in Argentina.
