A small volcanic island, known for thousands of years as the Lighthouse of the Mediterranean because of the regularity, reliability, and brilliance of its eruptions.
Stromboli is one of the few places on Earth that anyone can visit, on any day, with a high likelihood of being able to witness a volcanic eruption.

Il vulcano Stromboli è qualcosa di straordinario. Vedere le sue eruzioni continue, regolari e spettacolari – soprattutto al tramonto o di notte – è un’esperienza indimenticabile. Il fatto che sia uno dei pochi vulcani al mondo in attività costante lo rende ancora più affascinante.
Si può ammirare lo spettacolo sia dal paese, che dalla Sciara del Fuoco (in barca o da terra), oppure fare escursioni guidate fino alle quote più alte per una vista mozzafiato. Un mix perfetto di natura selvaggia, emozione e meraviglia.
