Choose the guided tour

There are two solutions to better know Lipari, which is rich in history, traditions, art and curiosities.

At a glance! Lipari Up&Down

During this guided walking tour from Marina Lunga to Marina Corta through the acropolis you can admire the wonderful narrow streets of the island. Then, go up to the so-called castle, walking on the acropolis and see the archaeological findings. So, you’ll retrace 6000 years of history. Moreover, visit the Cathedral of Saint Bartholomew with the Norman cloister and understand the deep devotion of local people to their patron saint. Eventually, before reaching the small harbour Marina Corta, learn about the Street Art nearby.

Explore the museum! Guided visit to the Archaeological Museum of Lipari

The second choice is a guided visit to the Archaeological Museum Luigi Bernabò Brea. So, you can better know the thousand-year old history of Lipari.  The richness of the ancient Lipàra can be recognized in the collection exhibited in the several museum’s rooms:  from undersea archaeology to grave goods, which show the daily routine and the afterworld, then the unique collection of theatrical masks.

The guided tour lasts about 2 hours. It arouses curiosity about the Aeolian Islands, which were  important in the 6th millennium BC due to the position in the Mediterranean sea.
