The Aeolian Islands:
Salina is home to a wide variety caves and submerged volcanic craters. Salina is the most fertile of the Aeolian Islands and famous for its capers and the sweet Malvasia wine. Salina is not as crowded as Lipari or Vulcano and less fashionable then Panarea, but boasts beautiful nature, excellent restaurants and shops. A bus service connects the villages and the most beautiful sites on the island. Cars and mopeds are available for rent in the main villages. There are excellent opportunities for walking. For example to Capofaro (lighthouse) that is set on the north coast of Salina and boasts stunning views of Panarea and Stromboli (on a clear night it can be possible to see its eruptions). The inactive volcanoes Monte Fossa delle Felci and Monte dei Porri gave the island its original Greek name "Didyme" (meaning twins) The conical mountains are 965 and 860 metres high and provide excellent walking.
Malfa is 7 km from Rinella and from Santa Marina and has a small harbour. The bay at Pollara (where several scenes of Il Postino was filmed) distances 4 km of Malfa and is one of the most splendid pieces of coastline of Sicily (see photo). Pollara is perched on one side of a half-submerged crater. A path leads down to the splendid beach.
Lipari is the largest and most populous of the seven islands in a volcanic archipelago that straddles the gap between Vesuvius and Etna. There is a bus service connecting the bigger town of Lipari to the other smaller villages; but the nicest way to get around is by renting a scooter. Besides the main town, most of the year-round population resides in one of the four main villages: Pianoconte is almost due west across the island, Quattropani in the northwest, Acquacalda along the northern coast, and Canneto is on the eastern shore north of Lipari town. An impressive archaeological museum ‘Museo Eoliano’ is housed in the buildings around the Duomo, in the citadel of Lipari.
Vulcano is famous for its mud baths, the sulphurous smell and its smoking main crater. In 1860 a British man named James Stevenson bought the northern part of the island, built a villa, reopened the local mines and planted vineyards for grapes that would later be used to make Malvasia wine. Stevenson lived on Vulcano until the last major eruption on the island, in 1888. The eruption lasted the better part of two years, by which time Stevenson had sold all of his property to the local populace, and never returned to the island. The villa is still intact. A walk up to the impressive crater and a visit to the small villages of Gelso and Piano make a pleasant day trip.
Stromboli is the most spectacular of the Aeolian Islands. A climb to its crater - when possible - is an unforgettable experience, because the volcano blasts almost permanently hot rocks into the sky. Boat trips are possible at night when the lava can be seen brightly against the dark sky.
Panarea is chic and expensive compared to the other islands. The bay of Cala Junco is like a natural swimming pool. From here leads a path to the peak Punta del Corvo. The terrace of Hotel Raya is the place to be for the jet set, and in August its disco attracts visitors from all the islands.
Filicudi is one of the two minor westerly islands, unspoilt by tourism and not much developed. The villages offer a few restaurants and markets, scooter, car and boat rental. There are some pebble beaches with crystal clear water.
Alicudi is the wildest and the most remote of the islands, and therefore a paradise for people in search of relaxation. Today there are around 120 inhabitants, who mostly live off fishing or the small agriculture of the island. There is only one restaurant on the island, and the menu depends greatly on what fish the local fishermen have caught.

Getting to the Aeolian Islands:
Salina can be reached by ferry and hydrofoil from Sicily, Naples or Reggio Calabria. Milazzo (40 km west of Messina) is the main departure point for the Aeolian Islands. Ferries and hydrofoils leave daily and stop in several islands. It takes 1hr 30 minutes to reach Salina by hydrofoil (with Ustica Lines) and 3hr 40 minutes by ferry. In Salina ferries arrive in the harbours of Rinella or Santa Marina di Salina. Cars and mopeds can be rented here.
It is possible to book a transfer with intoSicily from the harbour to the house (25 euro) and then rent a moped in Malfa. Please note that ferries are not always departing in the evening. Therefore we advice guests to book a flight that arrive early in Sicily or the day before the rental starts.
