Lovely, sunny day! I am moving to the other island of the archipelago – Salina. There are different ferry options, but I made a choice of the slow ferry which belong to the Siremar company. “Filippo Lippi” is worth to recommend! Why? Because it has open decks in the aft… I hate to travel on the locked ships, watching the world through the dirty window glass! The ticket Stromboli to Salina cost me 10,60 euro. And this was really dream sailing… Imagine only 3 passengers on the deck (plus few trucks down there) light breeze, sun… I took great pictures of Stromboli from the sea. Then we sailed to Panarea surrounded by little, rocky islets. Then we approached little port of Santa Marina on Salina Island. I visited many Santa Maria’s in the past, but never been to Santa Marina. It is little, cozy port with two churches and many flowers around. From Santa Marina there is a local minibus going to the village Leni on the other side of the island. It is a nice route – for just 2,70 euro you climb to the pass between two summits and then down – with a great view of other Eolian Islands. I booked accommodation in Leni. It was not easy to find – no markers with street names and houses do not have numbers 🙂
I found it anyway. My apartament has a a great view from the balcony – I will eat my late lunch looking at Etna on the horizon!
