Salina Getting there & around

Getting there & around

Hydrofoils and ferries service Santa Marina Salina and Rinella from Lipari. You’ll find ticket offices in both places.

Citis (090 984 41 50) buses run roughly half-hourly from Santa Marina Salina to Lingua, Malfa, Rinella, Pollara, Valdichiesa and Leni (€1.80). Timetables are posted at the ports and bus stops. The service is reduced out of season, to around once every 90 minutes.

Motorcycles and scooters can be hired from Antonio Bongiorno (090 984 34 09; Via Risorgimento 240, Santa Marina Salina; per day €24). If you feel like hiring a scooter in Rinella (and given the steepness of the road from here to the rest of the island, your knees may appreciate it), check out Giro dell’Isola (090 984 40 34; Via Roma 112), where you can hire scooters from €20 per day.
