Getting around
Arriving
none nearby. An island: Liberty Lines hydrofoils run from Milazzo (about an hour, most frequent), with seasonal links from Messina and Palermo; Milazzo connects to the rail line by shuttle.
Tickets · Liberty Lines + island buses
Lipari town is walked around its castle rock; Urso buses and scooters cover the island ring and the Quattrocchi viewpoint
Hydrofoil tickets online or at the port; summer sells out, book the return too.
Show your ticket when boarding.
On foot
- ·The citadel's archaeological museum is the Aeolians' treasury; the Quattrocchi belvedere over the faraglioni is the island's postcard
- ·Vulcano, Salina and Stromboli day hops all run from the same port; build the week around the boat board
Taxis and driving
- ·Bring nothing; hire a scooter or use the island buses
