Milazzo to Rinella ferry: sail to Salina’s quieter southern shore
The Milazzo to Rinella ferry route links Sicily’s north-eastern coast with Salina, one of the greenest and most characterful Aeolian Islands. Leaving Milazzo, with its imposing castle above the waterfront, the journey heads out across the Tyrrhenian Sea towards the volcanic island chain north of Sicily. Rinella lies on Salina’s south-western coast, beside a small natural harbour and close to one of the island’s distinctive dark-sand beaches. It is a wonderfully atmospheric arrival point, with steep slopes rising behind the village and the open sea stretching towards the neighbouring islands. From Rinella, travellers can explore Salina’s peaceful villages, vine-covered landscapes and walking routes beneath the twin volcanic peaks that give the island its name. The route is especially appealing for visitors looking for a slower Aeolian escape, whether Salina is the main destination or one stop on a wider island-hopping journey.
