The symbol of Salina: the small lake of Lingua (at the south-east corner of the isle). It was an ancient salt-pan; today it still seems to watch over the channel between Lipari and Salina.

Another symbol of Salina: the caper flower. Capers are one of the flavours most used in the Eolian cooking. Capers are very strong plants which grow even on very dry and sandy grounds.

The village of St.Marina Salina, as seen from the harbour.

The touristic pier, recently built, is one of the best of the whole Tyrrenian Sea.

Mount Porri (ms.860) is the second crater of Salina. It is separated from the main one (Fossa delle Felci) by a valley in which there is the church of the Virgin of Terzito.

Not only sea in Salina: don't miss a walk up through the Mediterranean undergrowth which covers the slopes over the centre of St.Marina.

Malfa is the township with the largest number of inhabitants, even though it does not have its own port.

Perhaps, it can be considered one of the most enchanting places of te Aeolian islands: Pollara bay; it formed when half of a huge crater sinked in the sea, thousands of years ago.

Pollara is a very ancient, tiny fishermen's village. Some of its houses have been built, digging directly in the rock.

The Aeolian sunsets offer the tourist unforgettable sensations. The picture shows Salina seen from Lipari.
