Sketching on Lipari Island - Sicily

 

After a very fast boat ride with the traghetto from Reggio di Calabria we arrived at the Sicilian Island of Lipari. There was a harbour for large boats and after wandering the city of Lipari we found another harbour on the other side of the city.

We had a lovely appartment in the city centre directly by the harbour and from our balcony I had a view.

The Island could be explored either by foot or by Minibus.
 

There are a few spiaggias to be reached by this bus, that rides many times a day.

 

The Stromboli volcano can be seen from here and a lot of boats are sailing.

Then we went further to visit a beach with a closed factory which looks like if the working people just had gone into small pause...could have stayed there forever.

Great atmosphere in this place and a wonderful beach, there is even a little kiosk in this remote place, which was not open that day. 

Maybe one of my preferred sketching places on the island. Just awesome relaxing...
