Once we arrive at Ischia, we’ll complete a full circuit around the island, giving you the chance to see some of its most famous landmarks. As you circle the island, you’ll be struck by the rugged cliffs that descend into the sea, lined with lush greenery and fragrant Mediterranean vegetation. Ischia is known for its thermal springs, and you’ll pass by natural hot springs, some of which are accessible by boat. You’ll also see secluded beaches and coves that are perfect for a swim, with crystal-clear waters and an abundance of marine life.
A highlight of the boat tour is the view of the stunning Aragonese Castle, a historic fortress perched on a small island connected to Ischia by a causeway. The castle’s imposing structure against the backdrop of the blue sea makes for an incredible photo opportunity. As we continue along the island’s coast, you’ll also have the chance to see the picturesque fishing villages of Ischia Porto and Ischia Ponte, with their charming streets and colorful buildings.
