Salina is an explorer’s paradise. Freshwater springs, verdant foliage and towering cliffs define the landscape, offering a myriad of naturally inviting colours and contrasts. The mixture of autumnal yellows and dark greens exude a tropical vibe, enhanced by the grape vines that decorate much of the imposing mountainside, winding down into the azure blue water of the Mediterranean Sea. The coastline is dominated by greenery and bushes, yet if you were to head to the centre of the island, the terrain completely changes; two extinct volcanoes mould the island, protecting the outlying villages from extreme modernisation and allowing them to maintain their authenticity. For much of the year the island remains fairly quiet – the streets are sparse and there are always tables free at the restaurants and bars – if they’re even open. Yet when the calendar swings round to the summer months, the island murmurs into a vibrant hub, especially around the port area where many of the hotels and amenities are based. Away from the harbour, Salina still appears disconnected from much of the world - just sit back and enjoy the peace.
There is a regular bus service in operation around the villages, and many roads accessible by cars. Much of the popular areas are compact enough to traverse by foot.
Panarea is like a dormant volcano for three quarters of the year that roars into life during the glorious summer months. Head there in the winter and most places will be closed, yet when the sun shines down on the glamourous bars and boutique stores it transforms into a flourishing hub of fashionistas and bourgeoisie. Many tourists come for only a day or two to bask in the shamelessly lavish lifestyle that is synonymous with the island; luxury yachts line the harbour and exquisite sea food is served at the extravagant restaurants. With little to do and even less to see, the island is predominantly used as a getaway for rich jetsetters that long for an escape from the strains and stress of the modern day. Only 300 people reside there permanently, so Italy’s most elegant and fashionable region can oftentimes feel like a secret party where many don’t receive an invite. However, the beauty and style of Panarea is definitely worth sampling, even for only a few days.
The island is car-free, therefore the only viable option is to travel by foot. Most of the restaurants, hotels and bars are located in fairly close proximity, so it is a comfortable stroll for most journeys.
