First of all, are you fucking kidding me? A HELICOPTER? Dangerous and slow. No thanks. I'm reading this one as, "If you had an instant transporter" or maybe "If you had a carbon-neutral private jet."

OK, now that we've settled that....I would pick Stromboli because I love islands, especially Italian islands, and even more so if there is a volcano rumbling dramatically in the background. Also, I have been to Stromboli and experienced unbelievable hospitality and very interesting times there. "Come, stay in our villa, sleep on our sheets, take a hot shower, we will cook pasta puttanesca for you, smoke this nice joint, here is a line of cocaine, and would you like to see a handful of cut diamonds? In return, we will be perfect gentlemen and not even hit on you except in the most chivalrous and complimentary way." Right? Almost no women there, and every man just beautiful, with profiles straight off a Roman coin.

The beach is lovely, with blue ocean as warm as bathwater. Killer view from the top of the island (after a grueling hike in black volcanic sand), where you look down *into* the volcano's fiery crater and everyone up there shouts "STROMBOLI!" after every major rumble.
