ISCHIA:
Dramatically situated between the Gulf of Gaeta and the Gulf of Naples, the island of Ischia is of volcanic origin. Its thermal spas claim cures for most anything that ails you. Called the Emerald Island, Ischia is studded with pine groves and surrounded by sparkling waters that wash up on many sandy beaches ( a popular one is Sant'Angelo). In Greek mithology, it was the home of Typhoeus, who created volcanoes and fathered the three-headed canine Cerberus, guardian of the gateway to Hades, and the incongrous Chimera and Sphinx. Thei sland covers just over 47 sw. km and its prominent feature is Monte Epomeo, near the center, a volcano that was a powerful force and source of worry for the Greek colonists who settled here in the 8th century B.C. Today, the 789m peak is dead, having last erupted in the 14th century, but it's still responsible for warming the island's thermal springs. The island is now know for its sandy beaches, health spas and vineyards producing the red and white Monte Epomeo. The most lively town is Forio on the western coast, with its many bars along tree-lined streets. The other major communities are Lacco Ameno and Casamicciola Terme on the north shore and Serrara Fontana and Barano d'Ischia, inland and to the south.
