Malfa is the biggest town on the island. When we say ‘big’ it’s really pretty sleepy. This is the main port.
A very lovely visit to Hauner winery. They are specifically famous for their dessert wines.
Touring the Aeolian Islands - Salina
Monday, 9 October 2017
This is the beach just below our hotel in Salina just below the hotel.
Trevor needed to climb a hill, as you do, when you’re a nutjob. As it happens, Monte Fossa Delle Felci is the highest mountain the Aeolian Islands (962 metres). I declined the invitation to climb it. Trevor went on his own.
Trevor found a new friend to go on the walk with. His name was dog. Or maybe it was dog that was looking for someone to go on a walk with. Whatever. They went all the way to the top and the bottom of the mountain together. Dog did not whine once. Good outcome.
Dinner at our hotel who a renowned restaurant offering Aeolian cuisine. It did not disappoint.
Something we had never tried before - snail caviar. Yes, snail eggs! It was quite nice but I think I prefer Salmon roe.
Ravioli with black pork ragu filling. Super delicious!
