Stromboli has been a legend since the film by Roberto Rossellini and Ingrid Bergman. The island of fire was considered a natural lighthouse in ancient times. The volcano, which is still active today, was used by sailors for orientation. At night, you can admire the eruptions from the boat, followed by glowing lava on the Sciara del Fuoco. There are also guided hikes up to Stromboli. Ficogrande, the island's black lava beach, is visually impressive but very rocky.
Around 500 people live on the island. In the north-east you will find the small town of Stromboli and in the south-west Ginostra, which is difficult to reach. In the main town of Stromboli, you can visit the Chiesa di San Vincenzo church.
