What's included

Itinerary

1. 1

   Isola d'Ischia

   Pass by

   Island of Ischia

2. 2

   Forio

   Pass by

   Forio, also known erroneously as Forio d' Ischia, with its ca. 13 km of territory is the largest municipality on the island. According to Jasolino, a 16th-century doctor, the name Forìo derives from Fiorio as, after the destruction of many villas and castles, it flourished being the largest on the island, well fortified with twelve towers, with artillery, and with many valuable people; other scholars believe instead from phoros (fertile), others from the Greek chorìon (village).

3. 3

   Lacco Ameno

   5min

   Lacco Ameno with the Bay of San Montano, enclosed like a shell between Monte Vico and Monte Zaro. The view is lost in infinity, caressed by the blue sea and the rocks that are home to dense vegetation of Mediterranean pines, chestnut trees, carobs, oaks and broom. Stop for about 5 minutes

4. 4

   Casamicciola Terme

   Pass by

   The municipality of Casamicciola Terme is located on the northern side of the island of Ischia. From a historical point of view, it represents the municipality on the island with the oldest tourist vocation.

5. 5

   Serrara Fontana

   1h

   The municipality of Serrara Fontana is so called from the towns of Serrara (main town) and Fontana, along the slopes of Mount Epomeo, about 360 m above sea level with a predominantly agricultural economy. However, the municipal territory is also made up of other hamlets and villages. The most renowned is Sant'Angelo, a small fishing village: it is one of the most beautiful and fascinating places on the island and has become a leading, almost exclusive tourist centre. It is no coincidence that the so-called Torre di Sant'Angelo, an enormous tuffaceous boulder linked to the rest of the island by a small isthmus, is today the symbol of the entire mountain municipality. Stop for 1h at the village of Sant'Angelo

6. 6

   Ischia

   Pass by

   The municipality of Ischia stretches along the north-eastern coast of the island and for those coming from the mainland, it is the first municipality and also the main centre of the island of Ischia. Its surface area is about 9 square kilometres and it has a population of about 16,000 inhabitants.
