The Mediterranean Maquis: a journey between nature and well-being
A Biodiversity Heritage
The island of Ischia, often called the "green island", boasts lush vegetation dominated by Mediterranean scrub.
This ecosystem, characterized by evergreen shrubs and aromatic plants, creates landscapes of extraordinary beauty and offers refuge to numerous animal species.
Among the most representative plants we find the strawberry tree, heather, broom and myrtle, which with their colors and scents enrich the natural environment of the island.
The pine forests, made up mainly of Pinus pinea (stone pine), are another distinctive element of the Ischia landscape.
These forests, planted since the 19th century, provide pleasant areas of shade and contribute to the quality of life of both residents and visitors.
The Solfataras
Ischia is an island of volcanic origin, and the Solfatare represent a tangible testimony of this nature. Solfataras are areas where sulphurous gases emerge from the subsoil, creating evocative and unique landscapes.
These natural phenomena not only enrich the geological panorama of the island, but also have a fundamental role in the spa traditions of Ischia. The thermal waters, naturally heated and enriched with minerals, have been used for centuries for their therapeutic properties, offering benefits for the skin and the musculoskeletal system.
The Aphrodite-Apollon Thermal Park: An Oasis of Relaxation in the Heart of Nature
Located in the picturesque village of Sant'Angelo, the Aphrodite Apollon Thermal Park is a place where the natural beauty of Ischia combines with thermal wellbeing. The park extends over an area of 7,000 square metres, organized on several levels connected by pedestrian paths immersed in Mediterranean vegetation.
Guests can relax in eight thermal pools, with temperatures ranging from 26° to 40°C, all naturally fed by artesian wells which maintain the regenerating and healing properties of the water unaltered.
The privileged position of the park, overlooking the sea, offers breathtaking views and an atmosphere of total tranquility.
Furthermore, the park has a natural sauna and a wellness center where it is possible to enjoy beauty and therapeutic treatments, integrating the benefits of the thermal waters with those of local natural products.
A Unique Experience between Nature and Wellbeing
The combination of the lush Mediterranean scrub, the fascinating solfataras and the excellent spa facilities such as the Aphrodite Apollon Thermal Park makes Ischia an ideal destination for those seeking a relaxing experience immersed in nature.
Walking along the scented paths of the Mediterranean scrub, observing the volcanic phenomena of the solfataras and indulging in a bath in the thermal waters with a view of the sea are activities that regenerate the body and the spirit, offering authentic contact with the natural essence of the island.
The Miramare Sea Resort, with the Aphrodite Apollon Thermal Park, represents the perfect choice to fully experience these natural wonders, guaranteeing a stay dedicated to comfort, well-being and the discovery of the beauties of Ischia.
