Salina is often described as the elegant and green island of the Aeolian archipelago: a place of vineyards, caper plants, gardens, and terraced slopes shaped over centuries by island farmers as much as by ancient volcanoes. Known since antiquity as “Dydime” - the twin mountains, Salina’s identity is defined by its two volcanic peaks and the protected landscapes that rise between sea, village, and mountain.

This five-day itinerary proposal follows that living geography through a sequence of walks that reveal Salina at its most authentic: quiet paths, wide marine panoramas, and a pace that restores rather than rushes. At its heart is the island’s protected reserve - an expansive natural area spanning the three municipalities where a network of trails crosses forests and volcanic terrain, opening onto viewpoints that frame the archipelago in every direction.
