Belvedere Quattrocchi
Belvedere di Quattrocchi
A roadside lookout in the southwest of Lipari overlooking sea stacks, a winding coastline and the smoking Vulcano opposite. It is the archipelago's classic postcard view.
Quattrocchi means “four eyes,” named because the view is so beautiful that it takes four eyes to take it all in. The viewpoint lies beside the island road about 3 km southwest of Lipari town. Nearby are the Faraglioni sea stacks and Pischia Bay. In the distance, you can see the great crater of Vulcano and the Vulcanello peninsula. You can rent a scooter, take a bus, or walk about 40 minutes from town. It's most crowded at sunset.
