Recommended Neighborhoods

Here are some fun places to explore around the island. We suggest renting scooters.

The bell tower of the Valdichiesa sanctuary

01 · 5.5 km from venue · 14 min drive

Valdichiesa

Climb Monte Fossa delle Felci, the island's signature trek and the highest summit in the Aeolian Islands. The trail winds through lush woodland to the old volcanic crater, with sweeping views from the top. Start near the Sanctuary of Valdichiesa and allow around 4–5 hours round trip, depending on your route.

The harbor at Santa Marina Salina

02 · 8.9 km from venue · 20 min drive

Santa Marina Salina

It's a lovely place to wander, with a lively main street, charming boutiques, cafés, and a picturesque harbor. Stop for a swim at the pebble beach, then enjoy an evening stroll along the waterfront.

Sunset over the bay at Pollara

03 · 8.1 km from venue · 21 min drive

Pollara

This tiny seaside village sits in a dramatic volcanic crater that opens onto the sea. Come for the breathtaking views, especially at sunset, and to see the landscape featured in Il Postino.

Granita and desserts at a café in Rinella

04 · 10.1 km from venue · 24 min drive

Rinella

Rinella's laid-back fishing-village charm, dark volcanic beach, and crystal-clear water make it perfect for a relaxing swim. Stop by Pa.Pe.Rò for its famous ricotta granita with capers and enjoy the beautiful views of Vulcano.

Travel

Make a trip of it

Since you'll be traveling all the way to Sicily, we hope you'll consider extending your stay to explore more of the island before or after the wedding.

Getting to Salina from Catania Airport

It's about a 1 hour 45 minute drive to Milazzo, followed by a Liberty Lines hydrofoil to Salina that takes around 1 hour 40 minutes. A helicopter is also an option.

Getting to Salina from Palermo Airport

The port is about a 45-minute drive, and the direct Liberty Lines hydrofoil to Salina takes approximately 3 hours 15 minutes. A helicopter is not an option.

Suggested routes

Taormina / Mount Etna → Salina

Syracuse & Ortigia → Noto → Salina

Palermo → Mondello Beach → Cefalù → Salina

These routes work particularly well if you have at least 3–5 days before the wedding.
