Pollara is a charming village located on the northwestern coast of Salina, one of the most captivating islands in the Aeolian archipelago. This quaint settlement rests within an ancient semi-submerged volcanic crater, creating a unique landscape that offers spectacular views and unforgettable sunsets. The area is known for its wild beauty and served as the backdrop for the film "Il Postino," filmed on the cliffs overlooking the sea, where the main character finds solace in poetry and nature.
Pollara is the ideal spot for those seeking peace and authenticity, away from the hectic pace of everyday life. Here, time seems to move more slowly amid the scents of the Mediterranean scrub, the sound of the waves, and the sea breeze that caresses the terraces of the island's houses. The scenery is dominated by a majestic horseshoe-shaped cliff, a testament to the island’s ancient volcanic activity, and the turquoise waters of the bay, one of the most picturesque in the Aeolian Islands.
Just a short walk from the vacation home is the famous Pollara beach, a slice of paradise accessible via a scenic path that descends along the cliff. The sea here is crystal clear and teeming with life, perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and exploring the rocky seabeds. The beach features a small stretch of pebbles and the characteristic caves carved into the rock, once used by fishermen to store their boats and now symbolizing the island’s maritime history.
In the surrounding area, there are nature trails that provide stunning views of the other islands in the archipelago. One of the most picturesque paths leads to the Belvedere of Pollara, an extraordinary viewpoint where one can admire the sunset painting the sky over the sea. The village also has a few trattorias and restaurants where visitors can enjoy local cuisine, featuring dishes made with fresh fish, Salina capers, and the renowned Malvasia wine.
