After a delightful breakfast, our ship gracefully anchors at Lipari, the largest gem in the crown of the Aeolian Islands. Renowned for its rich mythology and breathtaking natural landscapes, Lipari beckons with irresistible charm. Today you have the option of exploring Lipari on your own or embark on our optional half-day Lipari tour, commencing from the pier. A scenic coach ride leads us to Quattrocchi, where panoramic views of the Aeolian archipelago await, followed by a visit to Quattropani, boasting a picturesque church and mesmerizing vistas of the island of Salina. Our journey continues to a Spanish-built castle, once an ancient necropolis, now home to a cathedral and museum brimming with artifacts dating back to prehistoric and ancient Greek & Roman eras. After the tour, enjoy some leisure time in the village to savor your own lunch arrangements. The afternoon is free at your leisure, allowing for personal exploration and relaxation. Dinner awaits you back on board as we bid adieu to Lipari around midnight, setting course for the enchanting shores of Taormina. Overnight at sea.
