Ischia

Ischia is reached by ferry and hydrofoil from the Molo Beverello (next to the port of Naples) or by hydrofoil from Mergellina. Situated in the Western part of the Bay of Naples, Ischia is the largest of the Neapolitan islands and one of the most attractive places in all of surrounding Naples (from which it is 17.5 miles away). It is of volcanic origin and its present structure is the result of a complex geologic evolution. The first eruption is the one of Mount Corvo, occurred in 2200 B.C., while the latest one took place in 1301-1302 and caused the making of Molina Point, called Arso or Cremato. The strong volcanic activity and the sea erosion are responsible for the rich landscape of the island; it is characterized by a succession of volcanoes and craters, and by an indented coastline. The highest peak of the island is Mt. Epomeo (788 m.), followed by Mt.Tripodi (503 m.), Mt.Vezzi (395 m.), the Campagnano (334 m.), Mt. Rotondo (266 m.), the Montagnone (255 m.), Mt.Vico (116 m.) and Mt. Tabor (95 m.). Unfortunatly It has also suffered from a few earthquakes, like the one that in 1833 destroyed Casamicciola, which already was a renowned holiday resort. Ischia has an area of 46.3 K.M., and a diameter of 34 km. the population amounts to about 47,000 inhabitants living in only 6 communities: Barano, Casamicciola Terme, Forio, Ischia, Lacco Ameno and Serrara Fontana.
