Casamicciola

Casamicciola Terme, on Ischia Island's north shore, offers a captivating blend of history, natural wonders, and therapeutic waters. Renowned for its thermal springs believed to possess healing properties, Casamicciola Terme even features an old lady with her feet immersed in these waters on its coat of arms. The town boasts ancient origins, originally named "Casa Nizzola" and known for baking clay pots using natural heat from the rocks.

Explore the delightful pinewood of Bosco della Maddalena behind Casamicciola. Hike its trails and reach the summit of Mount Rotaro, an extinct volcano. Legend whispers of the prophetess Sibilla Cumana residing in the Grotto of Sibilla (formerly the Grotto of Castiglione). History buffs can visit the Antiche Terme Belliazzi, a historic spa established in 1610, where even Garibaldi once sought the restorative power of the thermal waters.

While nightlife might not be Casamicciola Terme's strong suit, you can unwind and enjoy leisurely evenings at local cafes and restaurants. For some beach relaxation, head to Bagno Franco to soak up the sun.
