A beautiful Italian island located only 50 miles north of Sicily, Lipari offers a picturesque backdrop with colorful fishing boats set against a massive cliff. As you leave the port and wind your way up the cobbled path toward the city, you'll be amazed by old-world sights. Once you reach the top of the hill, take a few moments to absorb the 13th-century Greek mini-amphitheater, and visit the Aeolian Archaeological Museum. Continue your stroll past tiny boutiques and souvenir shops, where you'll find handcrafted jewelry. Many small-ship cruise lines, including Windstar Cruises and Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, offer voyages to Lipari.
