We recommend the excursion to see the Stromboli at nightfall with Pippo, you can leave directly from Ficogrande, a 4 mins walk. The restaurant Da Luciano has a spectacular view, good pizza and a generous plate of fried calamari and shrimps. We walked easily up the Stromboli by the large winding trail to the Osservatorio in an hour and we are 73 and 67 years old. No interest for us to go further up, nor to crawl down at night with flaslights as it is very steep and arduous. There is a poorly supplied tiny « supermarket » nearby, you will find better shops near the port.
