The Geography of Salina
Second largest to Lipari in the Aeolian island chain, Salina has a total surface area of 27 square kilometres. It is divided into three communes, Malfa to the North, Santa Marina to the East and Leni to the South West. The two main villages - Valdichiesa and Rinella are found in the commune of Leni.
A World Heritage Site of Six Volcanoes
Salina is listed as a World Heritage site due to the fact that it is made up of six volcanoes making it especially important in the field of Volcanology. These volcanoes ensure a dramatic landscape to view from a Salina yacht charter.
The Impressive Salt Lake of Lingua
Those on a Salina yacht charter have the choice of two ports: Santa Marina or Rinella. Once moored in the harbour visitors can see the impressive salt lake in Lingua; once the site of a major sea salt production and exportation industry with contracts around the world, it now remains a tourist destination and wildlife reserve.
