Stromboli Island
There is an active volcano on the island of Stromboli and this makes it the most famous and beautiful among the Aeolian Islands. A single cone measuring 926 m, this volcano has caused the island to be evacuated several times. But the danger it poses is not enough to keep away a few inhabitants and lots of holidaymakers.
Stromboli and Ginostra are the island’s two settlements. Located on the southwestern shore, Ginostra has a few summer homes with only 15 year-round residents. On the northeastern shore is Stromboli. This is a collection of the villages of Ficogrande, San Vincenzo, and Piscità and wonderful black-sand beaches. It is safe here, even during volcano eruptions as the lava flows to the northwest.

 

Strombolicchio is a steep basalt block measuring 43m. Located on the northeastern coast of the Island. This striking rock can be reached by climbing steps cut out in the rock. From the summit you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Aeolian Islands. Sicily and the Italian mainland is visible on a clear day.
If you’ve seen the film Stromboli you might want to visit the little pink house where Ingrid Bergman and her director and lover, Roberto Rossellini, lived together “in sin” during the movie’s filming in 1949.

The best show that Stromboli has to offer is the unique spectacular natural display of fire. The entire surface of Stromboli, which is a sluggish yet active volcano emits puffs of smoke that can be seen all day long. At night the lava is glowing as it makes its way down the Sciara del Fuoco (Slope of Fire) to meet the sea with a loud hiss. This fiery display of nature’s incredible power will impress you like never before but at the same time it will make you feel weak in comparison.

The most comfortable way to enjoy the Island is a take a boat trip around to the Sciara del Fuoco, where you can see Stromboli's explosions. This excursion is most dramatic after dark, when fiery emissions are clearly visible.
Only for the bravest, the highlight you shouldn’t miss is the 926 m hike to Gran Cratere. Though your hike will be steep and seem sometimes impossibile, your efforts will be rewarded when you see pools of simmering lava, which glows radiantly at night. The bubbling lava is also accompanied by thick clouds of steam that smell of sulphur.
Stromboli will stick in your mind forever!
