SAILING HOLIDAYS
An island rich in history
During the Neolithic, the Aeolian Islands (particularly Lipari) experienced a period of flourishing civilization, the source of which was the exploitation of obsidian, that volcanic “glass” erupted from the craters of Forgia Vecchia and Monte Pilato.
The island of Lipari is full of ancient historical relics. The most significant is undoubtedly the Castle, located on the ancient acropolis and dating back to the 6th century. Today, it houses the Aeolian Archaeological Museum, which, with its collections, traces the islands' rich history from prehistory to the Middle Ages.
AN ENCHANTING PLACE
The island of Lipari
Walking around the island, one of the most characteristic places to visit is the Porticello pumice quarry, which gives the sand a distinctive shade of white, making the sea water more crystalline and turquoise. In the center of Marina Corta, there is a lively little square and a main street lined with bars and shops, while Sottomonastero and Marina Lunga offer a dock reserved for passing boats.
The Pignataro marina is located at the northern end of the inlet. It is protected by a dock with a quayside for free mooring and equipped with a floating dock for paid mooring with assistance, electricity, and water services.
