Another early start and this time we were taken from the ship at anchor in the Marina Lunga harbor to port by tender.We were met by a really picturesque little town.
From the harbor we climbed the Salita Melingunes and reached the Piazza Mazzini an area that houses the council building and church of Sant Antonio. At the south end of the square, steps lead up to the Acropolis, a castle which also houses the cathederal of San Bartolomeo.

There is a silver statue of San Bartlomeo on the altar and also beautifully painted ceilings. Outside we roamed around the castle walls and photographed the whole of Lipari from the elevated position, showing the harbor far below and across the rooftops into the mountains in the distance.

We meandered back down through the Venetian type streets to the coffee bars below. Here we enjoyed a cappuccino and watched the world go by.
