About Lacco Ameno
Lacco Ameno sits on the site of Pithecusae, the earliest Greek settlement in the western Mediterranean, and its small archaeological museum holds finds that reshaped how historians date Greek expansion. Pair that with the terraced botanical world of La Mortella, as on the La Mortella Gardens Excursion from Ischia: Botanical Paradise of Beauty and Serenity, or take in the island's layered past at your own pace with the Ischia: Archaeological Museum of Pithecusae Ticket.

Frequently asked questions
Lacco Ameno is where Greek Pithecusae began, so its heritage is archaeological rather than purely scenic. The Archaeological Museum of Pithecusae displays material from the island's earliest settlement, while La Mortella Gardens shows how a later era reshaped the same volcanic landscape.
