Excursion to Ischia Island

Ischia is the largest island of the Bay of Naples, administratively divided into 6 towns of Ischia, Barano, Casamicciola, Forio, Lacco Ameno and Serrara Fontana. Mount Epomeo is the highest point of the island, 789m. It is a volcanic island and is known all over the world for its thermal springs, it is even called Health Island and Youth Island. It is also called Green Island, there is a variety of vegetation, but it is green because of the green color of tuff, which is characteristic of the island, the Mushroom rock (Il Fungo) perfectly demonstrates this. If you add to all this favorable weather and a sufficient number of beaches, then we get a magical mix that turns the island of Ischia into an ideal place for recreation and treatment! But that's not all! The island has a very rich history. Ischia is the first ancient Greek colony of ancient Great Greece. Here was found the bowl of Nestor, the inscriptions on which are considered the earliest written monuments of the Greek language, it and other exhibits are stored in the archaeological museum, Villa Arbusto.
Two islands adjacent to Ischia are very characteristic. On one is the Aragonese Castle, which can be visited, from here there are wonderful views of the island of Ischia. Another island is Sant'Angelo, there was a fishing village, near Maronti beach with famous fumaroles. There are so many sea symbols as in the Church of Santa Maria del Soccorso you will not see anywhere - because Ischia is the island of sailors! The island is very diverse, the vegetation on its southern side is different from that on the north. Lovers of paradise should definitely visit the Botanical Garden of La Mortella - founded in 1956 by Susanne Walton, the wife of the famous British composer William Walton, on an area of 2 hectares collected about 3000 species of exotic and rare flora - this is one of the most beautiful gardens in Europe. The range of characteristics of thermal waters, which is rich in this island with a fiery heart, is so wide that they are used in the treatment of a huge number of pathologies, which can be grouped into the following groups: dermatology, ear-throat nose, orthopedics and traumatology, gynecology, rheumatology and general medicine.
