Day 4: Lipari

After missing Lipari our first day here, we could not resist going at the end of our trip! Lipari is an island off of Sicily. There are a string of island there known for their volcanoes.

Milazzo (where we got on the ship to take us to Lipari) was about 2 hours from Catania and along the way we saw some beautiful views.

We made it to Milazzo just in time to park our car and catch the hydrofoil to Lipari

What a breathtaking island! This is the view from our Airbnb and it was just breathtaking!

After getting settled in, we took a drive around the island (it is 41km around). There was such varied landscape around the island and it was just breathtaking!

 For dinner we found this perfect spot... a wine bar with the best salads, antipasto and paninis! One of my favorite meals!

And oh the best wine! These are the grapes the wine comes from.

This the sweet owner and his daughter making dinner

Beautiful and quaint shop

He stopped and talked with us for a while- he was too sweet and shared different magazines all over the world his restaurant has been in.

As we left, we saw the gorgeous full moon

Loved the streets at night

Got this adorable lamb at a wonderful bakery
