The island of Ischia sits just off the coast of Naples and is famous for its volcanic thermal waters, which are said to have curative powers.

Known for its rejuvenating waters and wellness culture, it has long been a destination for those seeking relaxation, healing, and a touch of luxury amid picturesque surroundings. The town's thermal heritage is deeply woven into its identity, offering everything from historic spas to modern wellness retreats.
