Stromboli is home to the most active of European volcanoes, with spectacular and frequent eruptions that can also be seen from the Observatory of the Navy, in Punta Labronzo.
With a little 'luck you can witness the Sciara del Fuoco: the lava flow that descends to the sea.
To visit are the village of San Vincenzo where boats moor, with its characteristic white houses; the village of Ginostra perched on the rock and reachable only by a mule track; the rock of the Strombolicchio, surmounted by a large lighthouse and born of one of the oldest volcanic eruptions of the Aeolian Islands.
