SORGETO HOT SPRINGS
|
The Sorgeto Hot Springs are one of the biggest attractions in Ischia. The island's underground volcanic activity bubbles up from beneath and naturally heats a series of rock pools.
By climbing down the steps towards a tiny beach in a wonderfully picturesque cove, visitors are able to bathe in a variety of pools, each with slightly different water temperatures. Bathers spend the day at the natural hot springs to enjoy what is effectively a natural jacuzzi which soothes and massages the body to ease aches and pains. |
