The largest island of the Aeolian archipelago offers plenty of reasons for a visit: from the crystal clear sea, to the breathtaking views, from the rich historical-archaeological heritage to the vibrant summer nightlife, Lipari never disappoints expectations. But its true essence lies in its people, with their slow daily rhythms and the unique spirit of island life!
Our private tour will bring together all these aspects, giving you the chance to fully experience the beauty of the island through its inhabitants. They will introduce you to the history, traditions, and culinary culture of this place.
You will begin your adventure with a scenic excursion, whose landscape of volcanic domes, rugged cliffs, and vineyards nestled within ancient craters will frame your guide's stories.
After trekking, you will reach the heart of Lipari to have lunch in an 18th-century villa, surrounded by a garden that once housed the necropolis of the ancient Greek and Roman city. This historic estate, once home to illustrious people, still houses a museum of Sicilian ceramics. The current owners will prepare a delicious lunch, with homemade pasta, fresh garden vegetables and fruits, locally caught fish and zero-kilometer products, all based on traditional family recipes with a modern twist. The meal will be paired with a carefully selected variety of wines from the Aeolian Islands and Sicily.
After saying goodbye to the hosts with an unmissable espresso, you will take a walk to the historic center to explore its alleys and eat a gelato or a "granita" in the beautiful square of Marina Corta.
