A day tour from Sorrento to discover Ischia Island

The ferry will dock at the city of Forio, home to the one-of-a-kind Mortella Gardens. As you approach the city, you may notice numerous coastal watchtowers, a one-time defense from Middle Age pirates. Once in Forio, you will have the possiblity to do a coach tour of the island. Then we'll make our way to the Gardens, which overlook the city and and provide picturesque views of Forio and its harbor.

Visit the Mortella Gardens in Ischia, a unique place

Once arrived on Ischia island, a panoramic tour by bus will show the most popular and beautiful attractions. Then you will arrive to the famed Mortella Gardens: there you'll see firsthand why they won an award over one hundred competitors to be named "The Most Beautiful Park in Italy" in 2004. 
Carved into volcanic rock in 1949 by the late English composer Sir William Walton and his wife Lady Susana, Mortella Gardens were the ideal getaway and the couple's private home. 

Explore the Gardens and admire the wonderful sights of Ischia

You'll have some free time to wander through the gardens yourself, taking as much time as you desire to admire the unique collection of flora. You can purchase limited refreshments while at Mortella Gardens, but it would be a good idea to eat a big breakfast before departure.
To conclude the tour, you'll arrive at the port in time to take the ferry back to Sorrento, enjoying another ride on the peaceful Tyrrhenian Sea in the dusky late afternoon light.
