none... well the volcano could go off!
In a nutshell
great place to visit
marco2005 Says: When the sun slowly goes down, take a moment for you.Stop on one of the terrace of a bar near the beach.Get your preferred drink, and relax,watching the teens dancing on the jetty.
jeffmartinartist Says: The main reason people travel to Stromboli is to see the live Volcano. I can list a dozen other reasons to visit this island but the volcano is something I would want to see every day, again and again. It is an easy walk from the town, which should be made just before dusk....
midgetmama Says: There are numerous cruises that go out to the volcano, Stromboli, to watch it erupt, and it does so about every 20 minutes. You're pretty much guaranteed to see smoke coming out, but the chances of seeing the lava gushing out are not nearly as good as the ads make it sound.
mel_bee Says: Around halfway up the path to the summit of the volcano (about 45 minutes up - where it is still safe to walk unguided) you really begin to hear the deep volcanic rumble. You can also see the Trail of Fire which is where the lava from the volcano falls down to the sea. It is...
mel_bee Says: The island is captivating and its just amazing walking around the tiny streets enjoying sea views and the flowers. I walked anti-clockwise out of the main town area past Ficogrande towards the path to the volcano.
mel_bee Says: (I will have to consult my holiday notes to remember the name of this church).There are some beautiful churches on the island as you walk upward through the tiny streets.
mel_bee Says: Because of the volcanic activity the beaches on Stromboli are made of glittery black sand. They are beautiful to look at and heat up well in the sun but only appear black in photos. Try the beach at Ficogrande.
mel_bee Says: STromboli is a volcanic island and its centrepoint is its active volcano. You can see smoke coming out during the daytime and lava at night. The eruptions are so regular that there is a scientific term "Strombolian activity" named after the volcano. It also means this...

mel_bee Says: At the base of the volcano near the observation post has to be the pizzaria with one of the best views in Europe. Arrive around sunset and sit in the restaurant, order some excellent Italian food and let yourself be captivated by the natural volcanic firework display. The...
mel_bee Says: Around the harbour area you will find lots of palm fringed cafés where its great to get a typcial Italian breakfast of milky coffee and cornetti con crema (vanilla filled croissants). The sign at the harbour warning visitors they are on an active volcanic island is a great...

Do not ever think to drive here!
marco2005 Says: Stromboli, like Panarea, is a motor free island!Every year is issued a law that limit the access to the island for motor vehicles (motorcycle too). In 2005 the time period has been from 1st May to 31st October.
jeffmartinartist Says: Getting there is easy a ferry from Lipari doing the Aeolian circuit. For time tables on ferries and accommodation look at http://www.caseeoliane.com/Inglese/How_to_arrive.htmOrhttp://www.siremar.it
banshee11 Says: There are several food shops, a pharmacy and one bakery on Stromboli. «Touristy» boutiques are open in the season. It is, however, rather difficult to buy household items or «normal» clothes (for example in the event of lost baggage after air travel). People on Stromboli do...
