Scoglio Faraglione Anchorage

Drop anchor off Scoglio Faraglione, a striking volcanic rock stack rising just offshore from the village of Malfa on Salina, one of the Aeolian Islands. The anchorage puts you right in front of this dramatic sea stack, with the terraced vineyards and pastel-colored houses of Salina forming the backdrop. It's a raw, cinematic spot — famously used as a filming location for the movie Il Postino — so expect the scenery to do most of the talking.
