Salina is the second largest beach in the archipelago of the Aeolian Islands and includes different landscapes than the rest of the islands. Thanks to its several water springs, the island is quite green. The island is included in the UNESCO World Heritage list due to its amazing volcanoes. The wonderful island consists of six different volcanoes, the two most important ones are Monte Fossa Delli Fecci and Monte dei Porri. Both of these volcanoes are very well preserved and offer an incredible spot. The island is made up of three small towns and some villages comprising a population of approximately 4000 inhabitants.

Compared to other islands of the archipelago, Salina remains untouched by tourism, representing really natural places where the tourists love to spend remarkable moments. Salina boasts two important ports such as Rellina and Santa Marina. There are regular ferries and hydrofoils which come from Naples, Pallermo, Messina, Reggio Di Callbria and Milazzo. Tourists can choose to go to either of these destinations and take a hydrofoil back to Salina. The ferries are only available from Milazzo and Naples. Regular buses are also available and make the connection between the towns and the villages on the island.

Salina has its name derived from the ancient Didyme, that means twin, making it not hard to identify solely from its shape: with two reliefs separated by a saddle-like hump. Geographically, Salina is situated along the Lingua point. Along this part of the island, you can find a series of ideal spots to enjoy a gourmet picnic completed with local wine and stunning views. We can guarantee that this will be the most relaxing and romantic picnic you ever had. The sunset in Salina offers breathtaking panoramas, perfect for romantic people.

Best atractions of Salina

Fossa Delle Felci

Fossa Delle Felci is that well known volcano for which Salina is listed in the World Heritage List. The volcano has a height of about 962 meters and visitors can climb up to the top or just half way to admire the views of the surrounding areas and the fantastic sea. However, climbing up to the volcano can be very tiring and it is perfect for those who are fairly fit. Other tourists can just come to the volcano and spend some lovely moments while admiring the beauty of the volcano from the foot of the mountain.

Museo dell'Emmigrazione Eoliana

The Museo dell'Emmigrazione Eoliana is definitely the most interesting museum among all of the islands in the beautiful archipelago. The museum shows the effect and the contribution of the immigration of the Aeolian Islands. The majestic museum is small and the collection is also not very large, but, it is still worth a visit to get into the background and the rich culture of the island.

Santuario Della Madonna Del Terzito

The Santuario is located in the valley that separates the two volcanoes of the island. The gorgeous place is an important pilgrimage place. The church is located on the track that is on the top of the mountain.

The Beaches

The beaches in Salina are very clean with crystal clear water, perfect for swimming. The beaches on the island are fairly deserted especially on weekdays. Just in weekends few locals flock on the beach in the summers. There are also a few diving spots close to the island which are ideal to explore the sea life of the region. The beaches are great spots for relaxation and leisure, where people come with pleasure and enjoy unforgettable experiences. Salina is a fantastic destination with overwhelming landscapes.
