A full-day escape to the island of Ischia awaits you, filled with Mediterranean landscapes, lush greenery, and a relaxed Italian atmosphere. This is the perfect choice if you want to slow down, experience something truly special, and enjoy a day away from the crowds.

Your journey begins with a hydrofoil crossing from Sorrento, taking you to the volcanic island of Ischia, set beneath the imposing Mount Epomeo. From the very first moment, the island captivates with its green hills, colorful towns, and picturesque coastline.

After arrival, you will set off on a panoramic drive around the island, allowing you to discover its most important spots and soak in the local charm. Ischia is renowned for its gardens, spa towns, and natural scenery, which for years have attracted travelers seeking harmony and a close connection with nature.

The highlight of the excursion is a visit to the La Mortella Gardens, considered one of the most beautiful botanical gardens in Italy. This remarkable place was created by Susana Walton, the Argentine wife of the British composer Sir William Walton, who lovingly cultivated it over several decades. You will discover more than 300 species of rare and exotic plants, elegant terraces, sculptures, and cascading water features. A walk through the gardens is a true feast for the senses, and from the higher viewpoints you can admire stunning panoramic views over the Bay of Forio. After exploring the gardens, you will enjoy additional free time, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a moment of relaxation before returning to Sorrento.
