The 360° View You Can’t Miss

Listen, even if you’re not a hiking person, you officially need to do this one. Mount Epomeo is the highest point on the island and the 360° views over all of Ischia are actually insane. The landscape while you’re climbing is breathtaking, so your camera roll will be full before you even reach the top.

The best part? Once you make it to the peak, you can grab an aperitivo with the most epic backdrop ever. It’s a total mood.

Insider Secret: Everyone tells you it’s a long trek, but I’m sharing the ultimate hack. In my Travel Tips, you’ll find a detailed guide on how to skip the longest part of the hike, a secret path that gets you to the top in just 20 minutes.

Want an even cooler experience? You can actually reach the summit on horseback. All the info on how to book that is also waiting for you in the Travel Tips or here on the map search for Aragona Arabians.

Pro Tip: Check exactly what time the sun sets! You want to catch the golden hour from the highest point (it’s magical), but you definitely don’t want to hike back down in the total dark.

Don't gatekeep this, but also... don't miss it!
