Panarea
The smallest and trendiest island of the archipelago, with white houses, blue shutters and bougainvillea everywhere, crowded with yachts and famous for its summer-night parties.
Panarea covers only about 3.4 square km. There are no cars on the island, only electric carts and mini tricycles. Around the San Pietro port, white houses, blue doors and windows and boutiques create a Mediterranean holiday atmosphere. In summer, yachts and celebrities gather, and bars such as Raya are famous for their nightlife. During the day you can walk about 30 minutes to Cala Junco bay on the south of the island, which has a prehistoric village. A hydrofoil from Lipari takes 30–60 minutes. Summer accommodation is expensive, so most people visit on a day trip.
