The largest island in the Gulf: the Aragonese Castle seen from the sea, the thermal bays and the tour of the island in a day.
- Where we stop
- In the bays on the south side, or at Sant’Angelo. Going all the way around the island takes the whole day, leaving at 8.
- When to go
- A full day, or two days. The crossing takes 70 minutes out and 70 back.
The places around Ischia that are best seen from the boat.
An islet of volcanic rock 113 metres high, covered in walls, churches and gardens. A 220-metre masonry bridge joins it to Ischia Ponte: it was built by order of Alfonso of Aragon in 1441.
From the sea. From the sea the islet appears detached from the island, joined to it only by the bridge.
Good to know. The castle is open to the public. Visitors enter via the bridge and explore on foot.
A village of white and pastel houses, with a headland about a hundred metres high in front of it. They are joined by a tongue of sand that you can cross on foot.
From the sea. From the water you see both sides of the isthmus together: the small harbour on one side, the beach on the other.
Good to know. There is no car traffic in the village centre.
A pebble cove where hot springs rise below sea level: pools of different temperatures form among the rocks, and hot and cold water mix within a very small area.
From the sea. From the sea you arrive directly at the pools; from land you go down three hundred steps.
Good to know. Near the springs the water is scalding: you stay in the pools further away.
A rock of green tuff a few metres from the shore, worn away at the base by the sea until it took the shape of a mushroom. It is the symbol of Lacco Ameno.
From the sea. You see it as you enter the small harbour, and you go around it in the tender.
