Description
Discover two of Italy’s most picturesque islands – Ischia and Capri – on foot during this 6 day trip that combines fascinating walks through history with stunning walks through nature!
Ischia is a small island located in the Gulf of Naples, a short ferry ride away from the Italian city of Naples. Inhabited since the Bronze Age, today it is a densely populated island known for its therapeutic hot springs, pleasant weather, and beautiful Mediterannean landscapes. Unlike the volcanic Ischia, Capri is a rocky island that broke away from the mainland millennia ago, resulting in a landscape distinct from that of Ischia.
During this 6 day journey, we will walk through the highlights of Ischia and Capri. The trip will combine sites of historical interest, such as medieval churches and Roman ruins, with the incredible natural beauty and stunning panoramic views of the islands. Our exploration will take us to the highest point in Ischia, Mount Epomeo, as well as in Capri, Monte Solaro. We will have a chance to explore the volcanoes of Istria followed by a dip in a thermal spring. We will even get a glimpse of Aenaria, an ancient Roman Citadel that is today submerged in the Bay of Cartaromana. For more information on the specific itinerary, the day-by-day outline is included below.
During the trip we will be based at a comfortable 4 star hotel in Ischia (double occupany included in price; single occupancy available for an additional fee). The hotel has a lovely garden, pool, and spa. Access to the property’s hot springs is included in the price. We will enjoy included breakfast and dinner at the hotel, which prepares meals using local ingredients. A boxed lunch is not included in the price of the trip.
This journey is appropriate to anyone who is comfortable walking. There will be minimal elevation changes throughout the trip, allowing even those with lower fitness levels to participate.

Once in Ischia, we head to our hotel and settle into our accommodations. At dinner, we review the plan for the upcoming days.
Day 2: Ischia - Monte Epomeo
Today’s adventure takes us to the top of Monte Epomeo, the highest point in Ischia. We follow the trail through beautiful chestnut and acacia trees, passing ancient churches and old wine cellars. From the top of Monte Epomeo, we will have an incredible view of the surrounding countryside. Plus, we can visit the 15th century church that sits atop the mountain.

Day 4: Ischia - Piano Liguori
We begin the day’s adventure with a walk around the Bay of Cartaromana, where you can still see the old roman citadel of Aenaria, which was submerged in ancient times during a natural disaster and can still be seen under the water to this day.
Next, we continue our walk through vineyards and scrub until we reach San Pancrazio and then Monte Vezzi.
Difficulty: Easy (elevation change of 394 m)
Day 5: Ischia - Monte Rotaro & Nitrodi Hot Springs
We begin in Cretaio (Casamicciola), where we cross the crater of a volcano and learn about its active fumaroles. We continue past the volcanoes of Montagnone and Monte Rotaro, through lush Mediterannean vegetation until we reach Rotaro’s crater.
We then take a beautiful path through the area’s hot springs, finally stopping at Nitrodi to enjoy the springs.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
