About Salina
There was a Greek settlement, from the fourth century BC through to the times of Imperial Rome, on the modern-day site of the small town of Santa Marina. A number of tombs from this era have been discovered further inland. Several traces of Greek and Roman culture have been found on the island. In the Hellenic Age the island was named "Didyme" (Δίδυμη), a Greek name which refers to the two mountains as "twins". The island was inhabited as far back as the Bronze Age and has been developed and then abandoned many times over the subsequent millennia. Areas on the island, including the two mountain peaks, were made a natural reserve in 1981.
