Ischia & Gulf of Naples: relaxation & recreation

Begin your journey with a flight to Naples. Upon arrival, you'll drive to the beautiful Mediterranean island of Ischia. Check into your hotel, where your hosts Ingrid and Francesco Iacono eagerly await your arrival. Enjoy a delightful dinner at the Hotel Lumihe (or similar) with your fellow travelers.

Start your day with a warm welcome from your tour guide who will introduce the upcoming program. Spend the morning engaging in stimulating conversations over an aperitif. From noon, you're free to explore. Perhaps take a leisurely walk to the charming fishing village of Sant'Angelo, or join an optional tour of the island to get a first impression of Ischia's diversity.

Today, visit the impressive castle complex located on a volcanic rock. Built in 474 BC, the castle offers majestic views over the sea, the neighboring island of Capri, and the Gulf of Naples. Take a moment to rest in the castle garden, surrounded by olive trees and oleanders.

Today, choose between a relaxing day by the pool or an adventurous hike. If you're feeling active, a climb to Monte Epomeo, the highest mountain on the island, comes highly recommended. Your tour guide will provide personal tips to ensure a memorable day.

Join your tour guide for a visit to the La Mortella Botanical Garden. Nestled at the foot of Monte Zaro, this garden is home to 300 different species of plants from around the world. Discover a paradise of orchids, Thai temples, and diverse waterfall compositions, all while enjoying breathtaking views of Ischia's coast.

Today, unwind at the largest Ikhitan thermal park, Poseidon Gardens. Enjoy the soothing warmth of 20 thermal pools with varying temperatures, a natural sauna, and Kneipp facilities to stimulate blood circulation. The expansive views over the island and the sea add to the relaxing experience.

Enjoy another free day to explore as you wish. Relax by the hotel's pool, seek recommendations from your hotel hosts, or explore Ischia using the public bus. An optional boat trip to the neighboring islands of Procida and Capri is highly recommended. In the evening, enjoy a final dinner with your fellow travelers.

Today, bid farewell to the beautiful island of Ischia. You'll be transferred from the hotel to Naples airport for your journey home, taking with you a treasure trove of memories from this unforgettable multi-day tour.
