It’s the second
biggest Island, and the Monte delle Felci and Monte dei Porri,
extinct Volcanoes, are the highest points of the whole
archipelago.
The two hills
gave it its ancient name : Didyme or “twins”.
It has three
independently administered towns: S. Marina, Malfa and Leni.
The other
hamlets on the island are: Lingua, Rinella, Val di Chiesa,
Pollara and Torricella.
Salina is the
most fertile of the Aeolian Islands.
Grapes (from
which the famous sweet wine Malvasia is made) and capers are
grown on the island and exported all over the world.
