Lipari, in brief.

Aeolian main island, citadel acropolis, obsidian coasts.

The largest and liveliest of the Aeolian Islands, a UNESCO-listed volcanic archipelago north of Sicily.

Its old town climbs to a citadel acropolis above the harbor, with an excellent archaeological museum and coasts streaked with obsidian and white pumice.
