Strombolicchio

A solitary volcanic plug in the sea northeast of Stromboli, topped by a lighthouse. It is a landmark on boat tours and a snorkeling spot.

Strombolicchio is the remnant volcanic neck of an ancient volcano, rising about 49 meters out of the sea. A white lighthouse stands on its summit, and a staircase of over 200 steps was once carved up it, though climbing is now prohibited. Boat tours around Stromboli stop here, and the sea around the rock is very deep and clear, making it good for snorkeling and diving. From Stromboli village you can rent a canoe or take a small boat, a trip of about 2 km.
