The fish market of Aci Trezza

The fish market is where fishermen sell their catch to local fishmongers in the early hours of each day. In Aci Trezza, it is located just north of the small harbour. It is worthwhile to go and hear the shouting by all the fisherman to sell as much fish as possible....

On top of Stromboli you certainly do not have time for dinner, absorbed as you are by the explosions. Having said that, the real explosion will be of taste once back in the village of Stromboli, at around 22:30-23:00, when you enjoy a wonderful pizza in one of the many pizzerias that await the desce...
