Bays of Fire and Sea: Embark on Your Stromboli Catamaran Cruise
Stromboli offers unique coastlines, often dramatically black like lava, which contrast beautifully with the deep blue of the sea. Consequently, a MySailCruise catamaran proves to be the ideal way to discover its marine peculiarities, especially as evening approaches, when the magic comes alive during your Stromboli Catamaran Cruise.
- The Sciara del Fuoco (Stream of Fire): Stromboli’s Pulsating Heart Without a doubt, this is the focal point of every sea excursion to Stromboli. It’s a steep lava slope, constantly shaped by the volcano’s majestic explosions, where incandescent lapilli pour directly into the sea. In essence, it creates a breathtaking natural fireworks display, particularly after sunset. Your MySailCruise skipper will expertly position the catamaran at the best spot to enjoy this marvel in complete safety.
- Ginostra Beach: A Hidden Haven of Tranquility Primarily accessible by sea, this small and charming beach lies beneath the island’s smallest and most isolated village. Here, its waters are crystal-clear and offer an atmosphere of peace and tranquility, far from the crowds.
- Forgia Vecchia Beach: Untamed Nature and Pristine Waters This wild and pristine cove of black pebbles is reachable only by sea or via a steep path. Therefore, its transparent waters are ideal for a refreshing swim, offering a truly secluded experience in harmony with nature.
Ficogrande Beach: Stromboli’s Organized Oasis
- The only organized beach on the island, with dark sand and pebbles. Moreover, it offers amenities and a spectacular view of Strombolicchio.
- Strombolicchio: The Volcano’s Silent Guardian A dramatic volcanic sea stack, all that remains of an ancient volcano. This prominent islet hosts a lighthouse and is an ideal site for diving and snorkeling, with seabeds rich in marine life. Indeed, passing by it on a catamaran offers a unique perspective of its imposing beauty, perfect for your Stromboli Catamaran Cruise.
Punta Lena Natural Pool: A Relaxing Dip Among the Rocks A small inlet where the rocks form a kind of natural pool with particularly clear and calm waters, perfect for a relaxing swim and enjoying the island’s serenity.
Stromboli on Land: Village Life and the Volcano’s Energy
Stepping ashore in Stromboli means entering a world apart, where the rhythm is dictated by nature and the imposing volcano dominates every horizon. Your MySailCruise professional skipper will not only provide a safe journey but also offer valuable advice for exploring the island on land, from leisurely strolls through the villages to more daring adventures.
- San Vincenzo (Stromboli Village): The Island’s Welcoming Core This is the island’s main inhabited center, characterized by its white houses and narrow streets. Within it, you’ll find small shops, charming restaurants, and the famous Church of San Vincenzo, from which you can enjoy a magnificent view.
- Ginostra: Where Time Stands Still, Between Sea and Sky Often called “the fist on Stromboli,” this is the smallest and most isolated village in the Aeolian Islands. Primarily accessible by sea, it’s a place where time seems to have stood still, boasting a unique and authentic atmosphere. A stroll through its narrow alleys is an absolute must.
- Stromboli Observatory: The Eruptive Spectacle at Sunset A panoramic viewpoint from which you can admire the volcano’s explosions in relative safety. Furthermore, in the evening, with the starry sky as a backdrop, it’s an unforgettable spectacle. There are also restaurants with panoramic terraces offering stunning views.
- Volcano Trekking: The Adrenaline of the Breathing Earth For the more adventurous, guided excursions to the summit of the volcano (or to lower altitudes, depending on activity and regulations) are possible. Ultimately, this is a unique experience to feel the earth’s breath and closely admire the eruptions. (Note: always with authorized guides and only if conditions permit. Your skipper can provide all necessary information to organize this experience safely).
