    The island offers a nice coastline and beaches, beautiful landscapes, and mountainous inner island with chestnut forests, vineyards, volcanic rock, and Monte Epomeo, Ischia’s highest peak.

    • The wonderful Gardens of La Mortella
    • Villa Ravino Gardens
    • Il Fango, a mushroom shaped rock in Lacco Ameno

    • Ischia Ponte in the northeast
    • Lacco Ameno in the north coast
    • Forio in the west, both Lacco Ameno and Forio with great Spa facilities.
