Second largest in the archipelago, Salina is the greenest island of the Aeolian Islands, formed from two different volcanic structures side by side.The two main peaks are the "Monte Fossa delle felci", highest peak in the archipelago and the "Monte dei Porri". Hence its peculiar shape and its ancient name, Didyme, meaning twins.
The name Salina is known worldwide not only for its beauty of colors and scents of the Mediterranean, but also to be the main production site of Malvasia wine, from grapes grown on the fertile and generous climate, full of olive groves, vineyards and orchards.
Its name comes from the brackish pond on the coast opposite to Lipari and its cultivation of salt.
Salina is an island rich in vegetation, occupied for over half by a nature reserve that provides enthusiasts with hiking and nature, between migratory birds and chestnut.
Also the beautiful coastal part characterized by rugged coast rich in inlets and the beautiful Bay of Pollara made famous worldwide by the famous film by Massimo Troisi "Il postino".
