Detailed itinerary:
Ischia is known as the Green Isle because of its lush vegetation. It is also the only location to boast true sandy beaches. It is a volcanic island dominated by Mount Epomeo, enjoy the view as you travel across the Bay of Naples by hydrofoil and discover the enchantment of Ischia. For a small island, it has many faces and all of them beautiful. This little bit of paradise is sure to enchant. The famous waters of Ischia are known as a “cure all”. The island has the largest thermal complex in Europe and spas that are world famous. The Aragonese Castle, easily considered Ischia’s most famous historical monument, stands on a volcanic rock connected to the island by a bridge first built in 1438, an impressive site and a not to be missed photo opportunity. The La Mortella Gardens were created by the English composer, William Walton and his Argentinean wife. A popular aspect today are the frequent talks by Lady Walton whilst enjoying an English cup of tea on the pretty terrace. Return in the late afternoon in Sorrento.
