Getting Around
BOAT
Regular hydrofoil and ferry services operate between the islands. Ticket offices with pos-
ted timetables can be found close to the docks on all islands.
CAR & SCOOTER
You can take your car to Lipari, Vulcano or Salina by ferry, or garage it on the mainland
from €12 per day. The islands are small, with narrow, winding roads. You'll often save
money (and headaches) by hiring a scooter on site, or better yet, exploring the islands on
foot.
TOP OF CHAPTER
Lipari
POP 11,200 / ELEV 602M
Lipari is the Aeolians' thriving hub, both geographically and functionally, with regular
ferry and hydrofoil connections to all other islands. Lipari town, the largest urban centre
in the archipelago, is home to the islands' only tourist office and most dependable banking
services, along with enough restaurants, bars and year-round residents to offer a bit of cos-
mopolitan buzz. Meanwhile, the island's rugged shoreline offers excellent opportunities
for hiking, boating and swimming.
