This is the second largest of the islands and is the only one to enjoy natural freshwater springs. Offering perfect fertile growing conditions, the famous Malvasia wine is produced here and juicy capers flavour local dishes. Salina is protected by two extinct volcanoes, Monte dei Porri and Monte Fossa delle Felci, which divides it from the rest of the world and offers a sense of peaceful remoteness.
Salina, Sicily
The Island of Salina boasts a lush, verdant landscape. Wildflowers, bright yellow gorse bushes and grape vines carpet the hillside in an array of vibrant colour in stark contrast to some of the more exposed volcanic terrain of the other islands.
