Al termine della sosta su Panarea, trasferimento per Stromboli. During navigation it will be possible to admire from the motorship the remains of the ancient volcano of Panarea that remained after the last strong explosive activity which thus caused the formation of a mini-archipelago in front of the island, volcanic fragments that remained scattered throughout the stretch of sea between the island of Panarea and Stromboli, among which the following stand out: Dattilo, Panarelli, Lisca Bianca, Lisca Nera, Bottaro, Basiluzzo (Spinazzola) where the internal part of an ancient crater the "Grotta del Carbone" resides. Once in Stromboli, immediately evident from the port of San Vincenzo, the black sand beach and Scari. From here a walk allows you to visit the island until you reach the Church of San Vincenzo where there is a panoramic open space that dominates the north side overlooking Ficogrande and Strombolicchio and from which it is possible to continue until you reach the house-museum where the scenes of the famous film "Stromboli Terra di Dio" with Roberto Rossellini and Ingrid Bergman.
