Ginostra is a picturesque village located in the southern part of the Aeolian Island of Lipari, Sicily. It boasts a small, serene beach with black volcanic sand and clear turquoise waters, making it a tranquil retreat for those seeking peace. The area is characterized by a relaxed atmosphere, with donkeys serving as local transport. Ginostra can only be accessed by boat, adding to its secluded charm. The village offers panoramic views and is a great spot for hiking and enjoying nature.
Visitors often engage in activities like snorkeling and exploring the surrounding landscapes. The village's lack of beaches in the traditional sense means bathing often occurs from rocky shores, enhancing the sense of adventure.
Despite its isolation, Ginostra offers a few local restaurants like L'incontro and Bar da Pina, serving fresh seafood and local cuisine.
