Don't forget that you are in a unique natural thermal spa, so we advise you to create your own tourist itinerary around Forio and see the wondrous springs. The first destination to visit is the world famous Poseidon Gardens which consist of 18 pools of thermal water as well as a huge seawater pool. All kinds of illnesses are treated here, but even healthy folk can have a good time - it's a real treat to inhale the scent of jasmine and other plants that wrap the whole place in a carpet of green.
The walking route around Forio in the Poseidon Gardens should not fail to take you through the terraces of Rocce di Yoga, a natural grotto with an authentic sauna in the style of ancient Roman thermae.
Ischia has many hiking trails that are suitable for those who prefer hiking to sightseeing. One of them leads to Mount Epomeo, the highest point on Ischia (787m), through chestnut forests, hilly landscape and scenic slopes.
As an option for hiking in Forio, you can also take a trip to La Mortella Garden, a veritable floral paradise with an abundance of tropical plants. During summer you can see the amazing migratory birds that live near the small ponds at the Botanical Garden. The garden is open 4 times a week from April to November.
