One of several bars, cafes and restaurants at Marina Corta, Il
Gabbiano has tables laid out on a pretty piazza. Like everywhere on the island, it's
touristy, but it's a scenic spot to chill out over a cool drink, an ice cream cone or a more
substantial afternoon snack.

You simply can't leave the Aeolian Islands
without a small pot of capers and a bottle of sweet Malvasia wine. You can get both, along
with meats, cheeses and other delicious goodies, at this gourmet grocery-deli just around
the corner from the hydrofoil dock.

About two-thirds of the way
down from Marina Lunga to Marina Corta, a lush, technicolor fruit display announces the
presence of this traditional greengrocer, piled high with wines, sweets,
anis
(aniseed) bis-
cuits, pâtés, capers and olive oils. It's an excellent place to find food gifts to bring home -
or simply to stock up on picnic provisions.
Orientation
