Walks in the green of Ischia

Ischia is a jewel with many facets to it. In every idyllic spot we can admire  spectacular views and discover the nature in all its beauty.

Centuries of country life, have marked on hills and slopes, paths that important guests walked. Real treatises, have been written about the healing waters of Ischia, famous during the Roman age, describing minutely, the beautiful landscapes, woods and gardens of the island.
Letters and poetries, told about delightful days that the tourists spent during the Ischia's holiday, leaving mark of an amazing place to re-discover walk again along the paths of the past. When we move from the more civilized part of the island, through old paths, natural oasis very beautiful and unique and poket-handkerchief plots, vinelands with the same techniques of the past, two thousand years ago. The cellars dug into the green tufo rock, the famous walls that support the terraces along the slopes of the mountain, represent the only marks that the man has left during the centuries living together with this land. Unfortunately, a policy of the environmental protection to defend this unpolluted richness until lately didn't exist, risking with the abuse of society, to destroy the story and the thousand-year old balance between man and nature. Few and poor are the efforts to value this huge heritage, the area of the park of Wood of Maddalena and the Paths of Lucertola, are the only positive example of requalification and the environmental protection also for tourism. Many others, as much beautiful, are the places to value, before that nothing remains of them, only the memory of who has walked and has not avoided to describe them in order to explain the beauty to people that have not seen them. Refer to the able local guides or to the advices of the islanders keens of nature, it's still the best way to discover and live the beauty of the green island, if you dont' meet anyboby, refer to Us, Ischia.it is ready for your whishes.
