There are afternoons when you don’t need to plan everything. Just pick a direction, set off and let Casamicciola Terme suggest what to do.
The area offers a wide range of experiences, from walks immersed in nature to the seafront, where the sun slowly sinks towards the horizon.
Discovering the green side of Casamicciola
Casamicciola is not only about the sea and thermal spas. An important part of its identity lies in the higher, greener parts of the area.
Places such as Il Cretaio let you experience a landscape completely different from the coast, made of trails, vegetation and silence.
From up here you can sense even more clearly the volcanic nature of the island and the constant contrast between mountain and sea that defines Ischia.
Walkers can also use Casamicciola as a starting point to explore routes and viewpoints leading into the interior of the island and towards Monte Epomeo, Ischia’s highest peak.
Back towards the sea
After a few hours in nature, you can head back down to the centre and reach the Marina di Casamicciola.
It is one of the loveliest moments of the day.
The harbour carries on with its comings and goings, the boats return, the light grows warmer and the outline of the coast changes colour.
Sitting on the seafront or strolling with no particular destination lets you see Casamicciola from a different perspective: no longer just as a holiday destination, but as a small Mediterranean town whose life still revolves around its sea.
Sunset time
As the sun begins to set, it is worth taking a few minutes to do nothing at all.
Look.
Listen.
Breathe in the sea.
Perhaps it is in moments like these that you truly understand Casamicciola Terme.
A place where, in the space of a few hours, you can go from the green of the trails to the blue of the sea, from the tranquillity of the inland areas to the lively atmosphere of the harbour.
And where every day can be lived simply at your own pace.
