About Stromboli

Stromboli is a cone rising straight from the Tyrrhenian, erupting every few minutes with flashes visible from the black-sand village below. May to June and September to October offer stable weather for guided summit hikes to the craters and evening boat tours along the Sciara del Fuoco lava slope. July and August bring heat and strict trekking quotas—reserve guides weeks ahead. Winter seas can cancel ferries from Milazzo or Lipari, but empty beaches and dramatic night eruptions reward off-season stays when the volcano cooperates.
