About the Milazzo – Salina crossing
Salina, one of the Aeolian Islands, is connected to the Sicilian port of Milazzo by two distinct ferry services. Liberty Lines operates the fastest crossings, taking between 1 hour 35 minutes and 1 hour 50 minutes, while Siremar's conventional ferry completes the 24-nautical-mile journey in 3 hours 20 minutes. Fares start from €16, though prices vary. The service runs every day, with the first sailing at 07:30 and the last at 18:30.
Milazzo-Salina Operator Comparison
The choice between operators depends on the type of vessel preferred. Liberty Lines uses hydrofoil craft for its high-speed passenger-only service. These faster crossings make up the majority of the daily timetable. Siremar operates a larger, slower roll-on/roll-off ferry that is capable of carrying vehicles as well as foot passengers. This vessel provides a single, slower sailing each day.
Both operators connect Milazzo, located on the northern coast of Sicily, with the island of Salina across the Tyrrhenian Sea. The port of Milazzo also serves as a departure point for ferries to other Aeolian islands, including Lipari and Stromboli. The total number of daily sailings to Salina is four.
