Trail Reviews
The route at the summit is a bit compilacted as some of the area has been fenced off as private and a bar and restaurant has been built at the top. To reach the 2nd viewpoint you have to WALK THROUGH THE INDOOR RESTAURANT and out the other side. There is no signage but just do it.
Ischia: Unfortunately I didn't record the tour to the Epomeo from the beginning. We took the bus to Fontana. Line Sinestra (CS). @The weekly pass for all of Ischia costs €14.50. We started our hike from Piazza di Fontano. The path is signposted and marked in red and white. The view from the Epomeo is amazing. At the top there is a nice restaurant with hut flair. She was open. We did a circular hike. There is a turn-off (516a) in 516 back to Fontana.
