Though the community of Alicudi now lives off of tourism, by renting out the few houses, a small part of the population is still devoted to fishing. And the fresh fish you will eat here is something else entirely. If you are in Alicudi during the summer, buy freshly caught squid from the local fishe...
Alicudi’s name comes from Ereikousa, related to Erica (heather). You need only go just beyond the main roads to find lots of them. Find one and get lost in the intense scent they give off, especially after sunset....
Alicudi’s geographical position and its distance from the coast mean that as you climb the steps of the only lane that leads from the sea to the top of Monte dell’Arpa, you lose the magnitude of the sea. Even halfway up the coast, looking towards the infinite, it will seem like the blue of the s...

Try to reach the southern part of the village of Pollara, almost near the bay cliff and in the direction of the Falconiera. Here, in perfect silence, you will hear Eleonora’s falcon circling above, or perhaps diving into the water to catch a few small fish....
Pollara is the place in Salina where most capers are grown, thanks to its exposure to the sun and sea breeze.
