Stromboli
A volcano rising from the sea that has erupted at regular intervals for thousands of years: sailors called it the lighthouse of the Mediterranean. From the sea or from authorised paths you can watch the evening explosions on the Sciara del Fuoco; climbs to the summit are regulated and often closed.
