Think About

Salina offers some wonderful walking on well-marked paths. Boat trips and excursions around the other islands are easy to organise. Independent transport is necessary though there is a good bus service around the island. Cars, mopeds, and motorised trikes may be rented locally. You may also bring a car on the ferry from Milazzo.


The Area

Exploring the local Area

Salina is the greenest and the most fertile of the Aeolian Islands (now a UNESCO World Heritage Site), famous for its capers and the sweet Malvasia wine.

Salina is neither as developed for tourists as Vulcano or Lipari nor as fashionable (expensive) as Panarea, but boasts some excellent restaurants, cafés and shops. A reliable bus service connects the main villages, making it easy to explore the most beautiful sites on the island. Cars and mopeds are also available for rent.

Things "not to be missed" on Salina include the charming towns of Santa Marina (10 mins), Malfa (5 minutes) and Rinella (15 minutes), the beach of Pollara (15 minutes), made famous by the film “Il Postino”. All of these are easily accessible by car or bus. For the more energetic, the walks to Mount Fossa delle Felci and Mount Porri are stunning.

Salina’s central position in the archipelago makes it the perfect base for easy day trips to the other islands. The 6 main islands in the Aeolian group are easily accessible using the regular hydrofoil services.
