What to see in Lipari, just a stone's throw from Supa a Civita
The supa a Civita B&B is the perfect starting point for exploring Lipari's main attractions without needing a car. Just a few minutes from the house, you will find history, culture, the sea and spectacular landscapes.
Lipari Castle
First stop: Lipari Castle, a volcanic fortress overlooking the sea and home to over 6,000 years of history.
Don't miss:
- the Regional Archaeological Museum with prehistoric, Greek and Roman artefacts,
- the Cathedral of St. Bartholomew and its medieval cloister,
- the Spanish walls and towers from the Norman and Greek periods,
- the archaeological park and the open-air theatre.
From the Supa B&B in Civita, you can reach the entrance to the castle with a pleasant walk: ideal in the early morning or late afternoon, when the light makes the view even more evocative.
Marina Corta and Marina Lunga
Descending from the castle, in a few minutes you will reach:
- Marina Corta, the small square by the sea with restaurants, bars and the marina from which all boat trips depart, with the possibility of renting dinghies if desired.
- Marina Lunga, the arrival point for hydrofoils/ships, is the long stretch of coastline that is home to the main port and a splendid promenade overlooking the sea.
These are the perfect places to:
have breakfast while looking out at the sea,
enjoy an aperitif at sunset,
organise boat trips to the other islands in the archipelago.
The historic centre of Lipari
The historic centre of Lipari is located around the castle, with narrow streets, stairways and colourful houses. As you stroll around, you will discover:
- small artisan shops,
- shops selling local products,
- bars and restaurants where you can sample Aeolian cuisine.
Staying at the B&B Supa a Civita, you have everything at your fingertips: you can explore the island on foot, without stress, enjoying the slow pace of Lipari.
