The Mushroom (Lacco Ameno)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The small, wonderfully mushroom-shaped island is the landmark of this village. The wind and weather have given it the shape of a mushroom. Il Fungo, the mushroom, is still the center of romantic legends today.

Sant'Alessandro Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Going towards Casamicciola, to the right of the port, you see the Castiglione wood; just before reaching it there is the small hill of Sant'Alessandro, ending towards the sea in a small beach, called "of the English". On the hill, along the ramps, there is a 13th century chapel, with a rectangular plan, extrados vaulted roof and rustic facade, which is a typical example of minor Ischia architecture. Founded on the initiative of the Di Manso family of ancient Benevento origins, owner of the whole hill, it was dedicated to the martyr pope Sant'Alessandro. Near the church, the Di Mansos had a small building, inserted in an older complex, of which today only a lava stone portal from the 15th century in the "Durazzesco-Catalan" style remains, whose architectural solution of the arc tangent to the rectangular molding represents a unicum on the island, while equivalents are found in Naples in the Bonifacio and Penne palaces.

Port of Ischia

Highlight • Settlement

Pretty place with a small port. All connections to Naples go from here. The car driver is significantly cheaper than the speedboat.

October 8, 2023,Von Via San Vito, Forio nach Ischia Ponte

Be careful on the way to Ischia Ponte: beautiful, partly on the smallest side roads, but here and there there are slopes that require good brakes. Our way back along the coast includes small detours at beautiful points.
