Hiking to Monte Epomeo
The Monte Epomeo mountain - one of the extinct volcanoes that formed the island of Ischia and the highest point of the island. The height of 872 meters is not too impressive, but, through of this, climb to the top of the hill is not too difficult. The road to the top of the mountain starts right from the bus stop of the village of Fontana, but not Serrara Fontana, as informs the most of touristic portals.

You can get the Fontana village by bus of CD line from Ischia Porto or from the Forio by CS line (map of Ischia bus route).
