Ischia

On to the beautiful island of Ischia. 

Volcanic in origin - thermal spas

23 miles of coastline

3 ports

Epomeo last erupted in 1301, however its underground molten matter heats the island's thermal springs to this day.  The springs are a big attraction and big tourist draw.  

 They made us wear hair nets!

The water was beautiful - and we enjoyed our time at the spa.

The largest port, Ischia Porto, was once a landlocked lake in a volcanic crater. 

Beautiful Sunset

 A fantastic dinner ... complete with strolling musicians
The dessert - ricotta pear tarte - unbelievable!!!

 The streets were quaint.

Window Shopping

Open Air Market

Fresh morning catch ...

Beautiful Church

Back to the ferry ... and on to the next adventure ...
