Marina Lunga

Marina Lunga is the historic heart of Lipari — the largest of the Aeolian Islands — built on the ancient Marina di San Niccolò and backed by a centuries-old row of fishermen's houses that give it a genuinely lived-in feel. The dark volcanic sand beach stretches out front, while the marina itself puts you within easy reach of diving, fishing, hiking, and more around the island. It's a natural base for exploring the Aeolian archipelago, with ferry connections to the other islands running regularly.
