Does anyone know if there is a ferry (or any other kind of transportation) between Pizzo and Stromboli? I have a Michelin map and it's kind of funny -- it shows a red dotted line between Pizzo and Stromboli but there's no indication what a red dotted line means. The line sort of looks like the ferry stops in the middle of the Tyrrhenian Sea, backs up and then goes forward again. Many thanks for any insights.

I see a ferry from Tropea to Stromboli, but not anything from Pizzo to anywhere.

Well, Tropea is actually better. Are you seeing that on a map, Michael?

Saw it on Google Maps. There's also this site, http://www.italyheaven.co.uk/calabria/tropea.html: One of the highlights of a stay in Tropea is a boat trip to the Aeolian Islands; either a daytime trip to visit two or three of the islands, or an afternoon - evening excursion to view the eruptions of Stromboli, an active volcano. Several different companies in Tropea organise day trips, and you'll find advertising leaflets and agencies selling tickets throughout Tropea. Bear in mind that this is a long day out and could be cancelled at short notice if the sea conditions aren't favourable. The Aeolian Islands are a great destination in their own right, and if you have time for a longer visit, you could make it a two-centre holiday in combination with Tropea. On clear days, Stromboli is visible from Tropea.
