The Aeolian island Salina north of Sicily is a volcanic island where you can hike the extinct volcanoes and scuba dive in the Tyrrhenian Sea.<\/p>\n

It was October when we flew to Palermo and landed in the evening where it was a nice 22 degrees.\u00a0 It was a Saturday night and Palermo was buzzing, with a lot of party people, scooters and cars queuing in the streets, and all the restaurants filed up. It was about 10 pm when we found a\u00a0pizza restaurant<\/a>, we could get a table at. The place was busy with locals. After some waiting time, we got a table outside and had tasty pizzas and local beer, while our baby fell asleep in the stroller -perfect!<\/p>\n Our plan was to go to the countryside, so the next morning we sat out to catch a train heading to Milazzo and then a ferry to the small Aeolian island Salina<\/a>.<\/p>\n The train from Palermo to\u00a0Milazzo station<\/a>\u00a0takes about 3 hours and then it’s about 30 minutes walk to the harbour<\/a>. If you’re not up for the walk, there is plenty of taxis and a bus service as well.<\/p>\n Salina is one of the most beautiful places I have been. It’s an Unesco-protected Island, the second largest of the islands in the archipelago. The largest of the Aeolians’ is\u00a0Lipari<\/a>, and the most popular is maybe Panarea<\/a>.<\/p>\nA trip to the Aeolian island Salina in the Archipelago<\/h2>\n
