On a visit to Sicily, you can absolutely cannot miss the chance to climb at least part way up Stromboli, a still active volcano.
If you are looking for an easy trek then you can walk 400 meters up the sides of Stromboli by yourself, although if you want to continue on to the crater, which still billows clouds of ash and fire, then you will need a certified guide to take you.
To get to the top takes around 3 hours with the descent coming in at around 2 hours, so overall you need to allow a five to six hour trek in order to see everything.
It can be quite a slog to the top but it is well worth it for the spectacular views.
