ISCHIA

September 8-13, 2025

There are still lesser-known corners of Italy that offer travelers that special feeling of discovering a hidden gem — a place that’s not teeming with crowds or souvenir shops. On Ischia - a volcanic island in the Gulf of Naples - you will find a dreamy version of the Mediterranean the way it used to be.  Known for its mineral-rich thermal waters, this volcanic island may be Italy’s “hottest” destination - with bubbling hot springs, therapeutic spas and intimate beach resorts - but it remains below the radar of most foreigners.

  • Your knowledge and experience navigating Florence is priceless. I do not think I could have seen and learned as much in one area without your guidance. You truly know Florence! I thought the itinerary was well thought out and every place we toured, shopped, and ate was over the top! I know we would not have experienced the fine foods and wines that the locals enjoy without your lead. I can't say enough about the local areas and restaurants we experienced on this trip.
