Stromboli, in brief.

Active volcano, Sciara del Fuoco, night boat watching.

A perpetually erupting volcano rising straight from the sea among the Aeolian Islands, long called the Lighthouse of the Mediterranean.

Its blackened Sciara del Fuoco slope channels glowing rock toward the water, best watched from a boat after dark.

When to visit Stromboli
