Itinerary

1. 1

   Chiesa del Soccorso

   Pass by

   A place of worship and legend, the Church of Soccorso in Forio d'Ischia is not only beautiful but has a particular meaning for all the inhabitants of the island. It stands on a small promontory overlooking the sea and is dedicated to the cult of the Madonna della Neve; it is white, stands out from afar and represents the classic Mediterranean construction. The Soccorso promontory in Forio also houses the Torrione, another symbol of the people of Forio.

2. 2

   Spiaggia di Citara

   Pass by

   ìThere are many legends that make the bay of Citara a fascinating place, and it is even more so to leave it to the legends themselves, told by the old Forian farmers, of the myths handed down from generation to generation, from distant times. The name of the town itself seems to derive from Venus Citarea and the miracle that created the bay of Citara and its spa, from the tears shed by the goddess for losing her beloved Adonis. Another version says that instead it was Tifeo with his tears that created the flooding of the bay, this time tears of joy for having received Jupiter's forgiveness. In addition to the marine conformation of the bay, it is said that the Stone of the Ship is nothing more than a rock, but according to legends, it seems to be the galley in which Ulysses traveled, having received it from Alcinous, king of the Phaeacians, to return to Ithaca.

3. 3

   Baia di Sorgeto

   30min

   The volcanic nature makes Ischia an island full of thermal springs that flow in every corner, even directly into the sea. The bay of Sorgeto is a real open-air thermal park, free and therefore open all year round. For this reason in Sorgeto you will find people immersed in water even in the coldest months, even in winter because the temperature inside the tanks can reach up to 37 degrees. The Bay of Sorgeto is one of those places where you can take a thermal bath directly in the sea: here hot and cold water mix with sweet and salty water, giving tourists unique sensations. We will stop in this magnificent bay to take a dip in these thermal marine waters (the bay is not very large, the stop will therefore be possible if there are not too many boats).

   Stop 4

   30min

   Sant'Angelo d'Ischia is one of the most fascinating villages on the island of Ischia. An oasis of peace and tranquility, it is forbidden to cars and, among characteristic alleys and houses leaning against each other, it reflects the typical example of Mediterranean architecture. An ancient fishing village, it is today an elegant meeting place for elite tourism who arrive at the tourist port with shiny yachts. Located at the foot of the municipality of Serrara Fontana, it represents the jewel of the island of Ischia. And it is precisely here that we will stop so that you can immerse yourself in the waters of this enchanted village!

5. 5

   Spiaggia dei Maronti

   Pass by

   The "Spiaggia dei Maronti" is one of the most famous and popular beaches on the island of Ischia. Surrounded by an uncontaminated natural landscape and offering spectacular views of the coast and the crystal clear sea. Fumaroles are one of the most famous volcanic phenomena that can be admired on the island of Ischia. They are located at the beginning of the Maronti beach, in the Sant'Angelo area, and are caused by the underlying geothermal activity of the town. In this area, the thermal water reaches the highest temperatures on the island, close to 100°C. Cavascura, the oldest thermal basin on Ischia, is an extremely evocative place that testifies to the history of the ancient civilizations that spent their time on the island. Even today Cavascura retains its original appearance and offers tourists one of the oldest and most evocative spa centers in Europe, where it is possible to relax with massages, mud baths or thermal showers.

6. 6

   La Scarrupata

   Pass by

   The Scarrupata includes the coastal strip that goes from Punta San Pancrazio to and beyond Capo Grosso. It is characterized by a very high coast and a pebbly beach strip. La Scarrupata is a place of extraordinary beauty overlooking the sea and offers tourists an unforgettable panorama. You can also see the various volcanic layers of what was one of the largest volcanoes on the island and which today has largely been eroded by the sea. It can be reached by sea or via a path.

7. 7

   San Pancrazio

   Pass by

   Located in the south of the island, this bay is a true natural treasure that offers its visitors breathtaking views. The Bay of San Pancrazio is a pebble bay, characterized by crystal clear waters that invite long swims and relaxing sunbaths. But it's not just the sea that makes this bay such a special place. The bay is surrounded by lush vegetation, which makes the landscape even more enchanting. The trees and the rich Mediterranean vegetation create an atmosphere of quiet and peace, perfect for those who want to enjoy the beauty of uncontaminated nature.

8. 8

   La Spiaggia e la Baia di Cartaromana

   Pass by

   It is one of the most panoramic places on the island, in fact in front of you you can admire the Aragonese Castle, a little further on Michelangelo's Tower and, again, the rocks of Sant'Anna rich in history and suggestion due to the legend that it is linked to women giving birth who, by rubbing them, it is said, became fertile. Here too, as in Sorgeto and Cavagrado, it is possible to experience first-hand one of the examples of natural thermalism present on the island. Don't be surprised if at times you find the water warmer as you are right above a thermal spring, on a fumarole. submarine that produces harmless volcanic gases studied in Ischia by biologists from all over the world.
