Stayed here 4 nights with 2 children. We loved the pool area and the hotel rooms were lovely and clean. The location was perfect! A 5 minute walk to the port and city centre where you can easily take a bus to Canneto to go to the beach. The hotel staff were very professional and helped us with our requests... More

This place is fantastic. Very short stroll (less than 5 mins) into the main part of town. Easy walking distance to main port. Facilities are perfect.

The Hotel provides a delightful experience in Lipari, even more than it promises. We went in september, for 3 days at the end of the high season. Excellent location, very close walking distance to town, yet peaceful and secluded. Luscious gardens, excellent swimming pool (unusual: flat floor, all same depth, not indicated, about 1.60 m; no guard on duty, no... More

Staff was really helpful, flexible and friendly. Young, dynamic and very professional. Pool is amazing, ideal for young children (and parents). Situation is extremely convenient, close to the hydrofoils arrivals/departures and also close to the city center of Lipari (walking distance). Quiet location. The room we had was very clean and large (we have chosen a room for 4 people)... More

We stayed here for 5 nights in early September. The hotel was meant to arrange a cab (pre-paid) from Catania airport to the ferry. They forgot. We callled and it took them 2 hours to sort this out. We called to tell them the ferry time, but still had to call again on arrival at the port as they had... More

Approximately 30 of us used the Aktea resort for a scientific conference in April 2010. Without exception everyone was impressed with the excellent service, cleanliness, food quality and general ambience. We would certainly return to this lovely place and would recommend it as a conference venue. All the staff and the management were highly professional. Ian C. Univ of Southampton.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Aktea hotel is conveniently located at the centre of Marina Lunga bay, close to the harbour and town centre of Lipari.Up until the 19th century, Marina Lunga (meaning “long marine”) was known as Marine of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of the sailors and fishermen, whose worship succeeded the pagan Poseidon. In the religion of ancient Greece, the sea belonged to the Signoria of Nereus, who ruled over it with the help of the Nereid nymphs, each of whom had a name that recalled either their specific function in the court of Nereus, a favourite place, or another distinctive feature.In Greek mythology, Aktea was one of the hundred daughters of Nereus, a deity of the PreOlympic generation, preceding Zeus, Apollo and Poseidon. Aktea is the nymph of the shore, inhabitant of the coast. On Lipari, the shore par excellence was the Marina Lunga bay due to its extensive beach close to the fortified area where the ancient Greeks lived, and located on the most shielded part of the island. The name Aktea itself is directly related to this coastline as she was worshiped by the sailors and fishermen of Lipari. We hope that Aktea becomes synonymous of a pleasant journey and stay, in that new “Ulysses travellers” may come to discover the beauty and rich history of this Aeolian Archipelago. ... more   less
