See & Do

See & Do
Take a boat ride around Salina or zip across to some of the other Aeolian islands by hydrofoil. You can climb the volcano on neighbouring Stromboli, dip in the sulphurous mudbaths on Vulcano, or get all shopped out in Lipari. 

Go snorkelling and swimming, take a picnic up to Salina’s mountain nature reserve, with its abundant myrtle and heather, visit a local wine-producing farm or explore rustic roads by bike or scooter. Watch the sunset from the magnificent beach at Pollara, memorably captured in the movie Il Postino.

Spa
Soak in the thermal sea water jacuzzi for an added sense of well being.
