Introducing Salina
In a stark contrast to Vulcano’s barren landscape, Salina’s twin craters of Monte dei Porri and Monte Fossa delle Felci are lushly wooded, a result of the numerous freshwater springs on the island. Wildflowers, thick yellow gorse bushes and serried ranks of vines carpet the hillsides in vibrant colours and cool greens, while its high coastal cliffs plunge towards dramatic beaches.

The famous Aeolian capers grow plentifully here, as do the grapes used for making Malvasia wine.
