Santa Marina to Palermo ferry
The Santa Marina to Palermo ferry connects Salina, one of the beautiful Aeolian Islands, with Sicily’s lively capital. Leaving from Santa Marina, you set out from a small island harbour surrounded by volcanic landscapes, clear water and the open Tyrrhenian Sea. Palermo offers a striking change of scene, with grand historic buildings, colourful markets, Sicilian food and a busy Mediterranean atmosphere.
