They extend over a strip about 20 km long, going inland for a maximum depth of about 5 km. The total area is about 4500 hectares. The useful surface covered by the water is about 4000 hectares. This last surface is subdivided into evaporating (3500 hectares) and salting (500 hectares). The other 500 hectares of surface are constituted by roads, embankments, pile-ups, workshops, offices, housing, etc. The evaporating surface serves to bring the sea water to saturation with respect to sodium chloride (sea water has a density of 3.5 Baume and saturation is reached at a density of 25.7 Be at a temperature of about 15 ° C); the other surface covered by the waters constitutes the salting area in which salt is available. This area is continually fed with saturated water prepared by the evaporating zone and reaches the 30 degree salt at the end of the campaign. Well. The Salina evaporating tanks have variable surfaces and shapes depending on the elevation of the land.

Enjoyed a fantastic afternoon on a private tour with Nino and Salvatore, our driver and guide. SO MUCH more than we expected! We learned about these largest salt flats in Europe (2nd largest in the world) and went into the blinds to witness upclose the flamingos and other migratory birds. Nino taught us about the volcanic (and magnetic) soil that produces such delicious vegetables, the thermal waters that are famous for their healing properties. We were privileged to visit a farm with grazing (and friendly) buffalo, cows, hens, ducks, and pets. We got to taste the farmers' homemade cheeses that my husband said were the best he'd eaten here in puglia. Just a really fantastic and memorable afternoon in every way.
