The quickest way: flight to Catania - rent a car or get the bus to Milazzo - take the ferry-boat (1h) to Lipari.
The next quickest way : flight to Palermo - take the bus to the port - take the ferry-boat (3.5h) to Lipari. 
Or flight to Palermo - take the bus or train to the main station of Palermo (1h) - get the train to Milazzo (3h) - take the ferry-boat (1h) to Lipari.
Another possibility : flight to Naples - night ferry-boat (12-14h) to Lipari or the quick ferry-boat (6h) to Lipari.
​In any case: travelling to the Eolian islands should be already part of the holidays. Especially travelling in Sicily: from Catania or Palermo to Milazzo - where the boats go to Lipari - is like a sightseeing-tour. If you need any help to plan your trip please contact us.
