Sicily and the Aeolian islands invite to a longer stay, and we will be pleased to give tips and suggestions. But also the major cities of Rome and Naples on Italy' s mainland are within easy reach (by plane, boat and/or rail) from both Catania and the island of Stromboli and are well worth a visit. On request, we will be happy to assist you with travel and other issues (prolonged stays etc.).

If you want to see Mt. Etna's ongoing eruption VOLCANODISCOVERY offers you the chance to join private guided excursions to the eruption site. Tours are arranged on request, at (almost) any date (also on short notice) for any group of 1-8 persons.
