Santa Marina Salina

Santa Marina Salina is the main port village on Salina, the greenest of the Aeolian Islands, and this marina serves as your base for exploring an island still famous for its capers, malmsey wine, and the landscapes that inspired the film Il Postino. The harbour is operated as a tourist marina with a dedicated operational headquarters on Via Pasquale Simone Neri, putting you right in the heart of the village with its waterfront cafes, ferry connections to the other Aeolian Islands, and easy access to Salina's twin volcanic peaks. Unlike the busier ports at Lipari or Vulcano, there's a slower, more local pace here that makes it worth lingering.
