There’s a loud belly-roar as gases force hot magma into the air. You’ll likely see minor eruptions occur every 20 minutes or so during your time on the path. Be prepared – the trail narrows and gets steeper as you climb. Hikes to the current endpoint only take about an hour but are still very steep and not for the timid. The trail (initially a switchback road) starts in Piscità, 1.25 miles (2km) west of Stromboli’s port. Note that guides are required for this hike. Still, even from this level the views are grand and feature a close view of the Sciara del Fuoco, a jet-black lava scar that runs down Stromboli’s northern flank. Instead of climbing to the 3032ft (924m) summit, hikes now stop at an observation point at about 400m. In fact, Stromboli erupted again in 2019, which changed the way people can hike the slopes. Sicily’s showiest volcanic island has been lighting up the Mediterranean for millennia, spewing out showers of red-hot rock with remarkable regularity since the age of Odysseus. Start/end: Stromboli town, 2.5 miles (4km) round trip, 2–3 hours, moderateįor sheer excitement, nothing compares to Stromboli in the Aeolian Islands.
