Stromboli Village Attractions

The place named Stromboli in the northeast of the island is made up of two villages. These are San Bartolo, where decaying houses bear witness to the fact that many of the people have drifted away, and San Vincenzo with its church of the same name. Between them lies the Ficogrande landing-stage. On the opposite side of the island, on the southwest coast, lies the little town of Ginostra with the Lazzaro and Petruso landing-stages; the best way to get to it is by boat. As on the other Aeolian Islands, the predominant form of building on Stromboli consists of single-storyed houses with roof terraces and pergolas.
