What to expect
After collection from Molo Beverello, you'll board the ferry for roughly 50 minutes to Ischia. Once ashore, your driver and guide take over, using a private air-conditioned minivan to circle the island. You'll pass through working villages—Barano, Serrara Fontana—stopping for photographs at vantage points overlooking the volcanic slopes. Key stops include the medieval fortress overlooking Ischia Ponte, Forio's harbourside church, and the unusual mushroom-shaped rock at Lacco Ameno. The afternoon winds down at Casamicciola Terme, where thermal baths and quiet gardens offer respite. Return ferry departs early evening.
