Lipari’s lively, colourful harbour is at the foot of a high cliff, where the old town centre used to be. This island has always been the most important of the island group.
On the island of Panarea there is an interesting archaeological area on Capo Milazzese close to the steep cliffs at Cala Junco where you can see the remains of a fascinating ancient civilization that existed between 1440 and 1270 BC.
If you find yourself on the island of Salina, then you must take a hike up the mountains Monte Porri and Monte Fossa delle Felci.
On Monte Fossa delle Felci, an old crater has become home to gigantic bracken (felci aquiline), which together with the rest of the rich vegetation on Salina, makes this a tropical paradise.
