Salina

Italy

The green Aeolian. Capers and Malvasia delle Lipari — the sweet dessert wine that the Aeolians built their agriculture around. Two extinct volcanoes, three sleepy villages (Santa Marina, Malfa, Rinella), and the film location for Il Postino.

When to go

From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.
RecommendedAvoid

Cooler than Lipari thanks to its two mountains catching cloud — air rarely exceeds 32°C even in heatwave summers. June and September are the windows. The Malvasia tasting at Caravaglio in Malfa is the canonical agricultural visit. Ferries from Milazzo and inter-island hydrofoils run year-round.
