Love Sicily but not the crowds? Visit this Aeolian island instead
Hop on a hydrofoil from Milazzo, Sicily, and in less than two hours you'll find yourself on the beautiful island of Salina. Stromboli's volcano stands tall on the distant horizon, and unlike Sicily, there are not many crowds of people. Locals whizz by on mopeds while only a few tourists relax at a sea cove on the side of the road. Salina is the second-largest island in the Aeolian archipelago (Lipari is the largest), yet it is home to only around 2,500 residents, making the island the perfect immersion into relaxed Italian island culture and lifestyle. (Is the future of Italy tropical? Why Sicilian farmers are trading olives for papayas) A small island with a big personality 'Salina is like stepping into a love story—it's not about flashy attractions but about the quiet beauty that slowly captures your heart. It's the greenest of the Aeolian Islands, with lush landscapes, volcanic peaks, and the most incredible sea views," says Anita Motta, owner and hotel director of Principe di Salina, a boutique hotel on the island. Home to about 2,500 residents, Salina offers a quiet introduction to the Aeolian Islands. Photograph by DanieleC, Alamy Stock Photo (Top) (Left) and Photograph by Raffaele Celentano, laif/Redux (Bottom) (Right) Though much smaller than Sicily, Salina does not lack in personality. Upon arriving at Santa Marina's port, one of the island's three cities, travelers will discover Santa Marina's narrow streets are populated with cafes, restaurants, bars, and clothing boutiques that have sourced items from across Italy. The town's mainstay is its 18th-century yellow-and-white-trimmed church with bell towers. "What makes it truly special is its authenticity. You won't find crowds or over-commercialized spots here. Instead, you'll discover artisan wineries, caper farms, and locals who welcome you like family," says Motta. "It's a place to immerse yourself in nature, indulge in slow living, and feel the rhythm of the Mediterranean." What to do in Salina This charming island can be easily divided into small regions. Begin the adventure in Malfa, a lovely town with boutiques, restaurants, and vineyards. Savor the local cuisine at In Sé Natura, perched on a cliff with direct views of the sea, or at the Michelin-starred Signum. Salina is best known for its fine grapes and Malvasia wine, which can be dry or sweet. Stroll downhill and you'll encounter Punta Scario Beach, a cove that is home to a rocky beach where sunbathers can rent inflatable mattresses from a local sitting in a chair at the bottom of the steps. The grapes grown on Salina are used to produce Malvasia wine, which can be dry or sweet. Photograph by Kirchner, laif/Redux (This volcanic Italian island was made for wine) Pollara is one of the most stunning areas to the northwest of the island; it was created by a partially collapsed volcanic crater that formed a bay on the island. The location is known for being the primary set of the 1994 movie Il Postino. Capers are one of the island's largest exports, and visitors can spend hours at the Sapori Eoliani caper farm in Pollara learning about the salty fruit. There is a small World War I fort on the road between Malfa and Pollara, popular for its panoramic views and breathtaking sunsets. 'Watching the colors of the sky shift over the ancient volcanic cliffs is an experience that stays with you forever,' says Motta. The southwestern village of Rinella has two different noteworthy attractions. First is the Spiaggia di Rinella black sand beach, which is ideal for spending a relaxing afternoon soaking up the sun. Second is restaurant, known for its ricotta granita. Granita is a Sicilian dessert that is essentially a shaved ice dessert with flavoring. Lingua is at the southernmost end of the island, and has a scenic short promenade walk that ends at the lighthouse. You'll find shops, cafes, and the not-to-be-missed Da Alfredo restaurant. Da Alfredo is a family-run restaurant overlooking the esplanade, known for its pane cunzato, a traditional Sicilian open-faced sandwich. The town is at sea level, and you'll see locals and tourists lounging in the water while waiting for their food to be served. Where to stay Salina is the second-largest of the Aeolian Islands. Photograph by Image Professionals GmbH, Alamy Stock Photo Principe di Salina is a boutique hotel set on the cliff of the island with views of the sea and Stromboli volcano. The hotel is run by a wife-and-husband duo: Anita runs the hotel, and Filippo is the baker. Upon entering the open-air lobby, guests will find towels and towel baskets at the front desk, a tell-tale sign of relaxed island life. Rent an e-scooter or book a boat tour around the island. Guests can indulge in a daily poolside happy hour, bask in the sun around the hotel's centerpiece, the aquamarine-colored pool, or lounge in one of the hotel's many hammocks, mattresses, or couches for an afternoon siesta. Breakfasts and dinners are served communal style, on a long table where guests can mingle. If there is leftover food, Anita will personally serve a second (and even third) helping to guests craving more. 'The story of Principe di Salina is deeply rooted in my family's history and love for this island. It all began when my grandfather Alfredo first came to Salina with my mother, Silvana, who was just a little girl at the time. Their connection to the island was instant and profound," says Motta. "Fast forward to 2017, my parents and I decided to honor that legacy by opening Principe di Salina." Hotel I Cinque Balconi is another island favorite. It's a great stop for the first or last night on the island since Santa Marina is where the hydrofoil docks. It's been family-owned by the Lo Schiavos since the 18th century. The great-grandfather of the current owners was a sea merchant and collaborated with the owner of the adjacent building, also a sea merchant. The hotel is known for having five balconies, hence the hotel's name, which means "overlooking the sea." The building presents hints of historical architecture and has an impressive garden of fig and pomegranate trees, roses, and mint, among a number of other beautiful and fragrant plants. The hotel's Casa Lo Schiavo restaurant is well-regarded by locals and tourists for its open kitchen and flavorful traditional dishes.

ICE detains the most followed person on TikTok, Khaby Lame
(NewsNation) — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement reportedly detained the most-followed creator on TikTok on Friday. Khaby Lame, whose full name is Seringe Khabane Lame, is an Italian-Senegalese influencer. He was detained for immigration violations at the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada, according to USA Today. Lame, 25, is a current citizen of Italy and reportedly 'overstayed the terms of his visa,' ICE reported. ICE allegedly gave Lame the option to depart the country voluntarily after he was detained, and Lame chose to leave the U.S. Lame became famous during the COVID-19 pandemic when he was laid off from his job in Italy. He uses the hashtag 'learnfromkhaby' on most of his videos, and he follows along as another creator talks about a complicated hack. Once he watches the 'hack,' he shows himself easily completing it, typically without saying anything. Lame is reportedly an ambassador for the men's clothing company Boss. He is also an ambassador for Binance and UNICEF. Lame moved from Senegal to Italy as a baby, but as The Associated Press reported, he didn't gain Italian citizenship until 2022. In 2024, he was named one of People's Creators of the Year. He told the publication at the time, 'Before TikTok, I was working in a factory. I had a lot of different jobs. I was helping support my family — three little brothers, one older brother and my parents. Then my world changed completely. It's a whole different life now.' Lame's detainment is one small part of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. During his presidential campaign, he had promised to create mass deportations, which have led to ICE raiding workplaces, airports and more across the country.

World's most followed TikToker Khaby Lame self deports after ICE detention
Khaby Lame, the most followed person on TikTok, has voluntarily left the United States after being briefly detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement last week for overstaying the terms of his visa. Lame, whose real name is Serigne Khabane Lame, is a Senegalese- Italian TikToker known for his deadpan reactions to other videos. His viral videos have earned him a following of more than 162 million. But on June 6, Lame was detained at the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas for violating the terms of his visa, ICE said in a statement. Lame, 25, had entered the U.S. on April 30 on a temporary visa. While in the country, Lame attended the Met Gala in New York City. 'Lame was granted voluntary departure June 6 and has since departed the U.S.,' an ICE spokesperson said. It's unclear if Lame returned to Italy immediately. As of Tuesday, Lame had posted an Instagram Story of himself in São Paulo, Brazil. Lame's experience with immigration enforcement arrives as President Donald Trump directs local, state, and federal law enforcement to assist in carrying-out his long-promised mass deportation agenda. News of the popular TikToker's detainment sent ripples across social media, with many of Lame's followers acknowledging his run-in with immigration law enforcement in his comment section, despite his videos having nothing to do with the incident. 'Sad to hear. But laws have to be followed wherever you go. No exceptions. Even if you don't agree with them. In any country, you have to follow THEIR laws, not your beliefs, wants, or desires. Hang in there @khaby00 and make it all legal! You are loved by so many!' One person wrote on an Instagram post from 2023. 'Bro ain't deported just winning,' one commenter wrote on an unrelated sponsored post. 'Is it true you were captured by ICE?' A person wrote on one of Lame's Instagram videos. Lame has not publicly commented on accusations of overstaying his visa. The interest in Lame's encounter with ICE arrives as other influencers are using their platform to raise awareness of the lack of due process associated with the Trump administration's mass deportation raids in Los Angeles and other cities.
