Marina Corta
A small fishing harbor square below the castle, with hydrofoils and fishing boats moored and cafés and seafood restaurants around it. Many island-hopping boat tours depart from here.
Marina Corta is a small harbor on the south side of Lipari town. On a reef in the sea stands the white Church of the Souls in Purgatory, with the castle walls as a backdrop, making it the island's most photogenic corner. Cafés, gelato shops and seafood restaurants line the square, and locals gather here for evening strolls. Island tours, one-day island-hopping trips and night boat trips to watch Stromboli erupt mostly depart from here. Along Via Vittorio Emanuele you can stroll the old town's main street.
