It's a comfortable 2-3 hour boat trip on the 100% clear sea.
There are chairs in the indoor cabin on the first floor, on the bow deck, on the second floor deck, and on the rooftop deck.
You can buy snacks and alcoholic drinks at the small shop on the boat. A sandwich was €5, and a glass of wine was about €6.
There were guides in Italian, English, and German. Tropea was full of German (and German-speaking) tourists.
You can swim in the sea right next to the port on Stromboli. It's a volcanic island, so the beach is black, so it doesn't look as clean as Tropea, but the water is actually very clear and beautiful.
After that, there are bars and open-air restaurants on both sides of the road.
If you walk up the path leading up, there are several more restaurants and souvenir shops. We stayed for about 3 hours, but we still had time left after swimming in the sea.
It might be good for people who want to spend a long time in a restaurant or go on a light hike. Serious mountain climbing is another story.
If you reboard before sunset, the boat will sail around the island so you can get a good view of the volcano.
The sunset was also amazing!
You can always see the small orange 🔥 of the eruption, but there are fairly large explosions? Every few minutes to tens of minutes, there are big fires and smoke, and everyone is excited.
