Day trip

• 1) A Trip to Monte Epomeo: Arriving at Fontana by foot or by riding a mule you can reach the peak, which is about 800 metres above sea level: Monte Epomeo is an enormous rock of tufa, in which rooms of an ex hermit and a church which is dedicated to San Nicola (recently restored) have been carved into its sides. During the day the view is marvellous, you can see the whole island of Ischia, Capri and the bay of Naples. At night you can see the town of Forio in a candid light, like an oriental city with the stars slowly fading into the sea, and dawn slowly breaking with its famous green ray.
• 2) Boat tours: There are a number of boat tours which circumnavigate the island, they leave from Forio, Ischia, Sant´Angelo, Lacco Ameno and Casamicciola but you can get on them at any point and hop-off again in order to make the most of it
