Neapolitan treasures: Ischia & the Bay of Naples

Your journey commences with a direct flight to Naples, followed by a private transfer to your luxurious haven: Grand Hotel Parker's. Located in the elegant Chiaia district, this iconic hotel offers unparalleled opulence and breathtaking panoramic views of the Bay of Naples, from the enchanting Posillipo to the imposing Vesuvius. The city itself is a captivating blend of architectural marvels, historical treasures, and culinary delights. Chiaia serves as a springboard to the city's main attractions, including Piazza dei Martiri, Mergellina, and the beautiful Naples waterfront. Spend these two days exploring and sample its unique food scene along with historic attractions such as Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Indulge in a leisurely breakfast before embarking on a private transfer to the bustling port. Your ferry departs shortly after, setting sail across the shimmering waters of the Bay of Naples as you head south. The journey typically takes around an hour, offering stunning views of the coastline as you approach the enchanting island of Ischia. Upon arrival, relax as a private transfer whisks you away to the boutique Botania Relais & Spa, an idyllic five-star retreat situated amidst three hectares of lush gardens.

Over the course of the next five days, discover the island's charm, from the picturesque seaside town of Lacco Ameno to the ancient fishing village of Sant'Angelo, with its colorful houses, charming squares, and trendy boutiques. Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of Ischia Porto, the island's capital, where you can savour delicious aperitifs and dine at trendy restaurants. Alternatively, take a leisurely stroll to Ischia Ponte and explore the magnificent Aragonese Castle – dating back to 474 BC – or, escape to the neighbouring island of Procida for a slower pace of life and pristine beaches. Back at the hotel, take advantage of the many amenities on offer. Unwind with a spa treatment, cool off in the large outdoor pool, or stroll through a shaded walkway to San Montano Beach.

Savour a final breakfast at the hotel before departing in time to catch your scheduled ferry back to the mainland. A private transfer will then chauffeur you back to Naples airport for your flight back to the UK.
