On the Peaks of Ischia: Trekking between Panoramas and Legends and Taste

Discover the true soul of Ischia with an excursion that will take you to the highest peak of the island, along nature-filled trails and breathtaking views.

Starting from the charming village of Fontana, we’ll follow an ancient mule track winding through centuries-old chestnut groves, leading us to Punta San Nicola. Here, the ancient medieval hermitage carved into green tuff stone offers a mystical atmosphere and a spectacular view over Ischia, the Gulf of Naples, and the Pontine Islands.

On the way down, we’ll cross terraced fields and vineyards, passing by the fascinating Pietra dell’Acqua, an ancient cistern carved into the rock. The journey will be enriched by stories and anecdotes from our local guide, revealing the legends, curiosities, and traditions of Ischia.

The excursion ends in a rustic mountain shelter, where those who wish can take a break and savor authentic local delicacies, surrounded by the peaceful countryside.
