Trekking Ischia: Cretaio
Ischia trekking: hike to explore ancient craters and the island’s most beautiful pine forests
The trek begins at Cretaio, Barano municipality, in front of the riding school. We climb to Mt. Toppo, a green-covered volcano with a wide variety of vegetation. We find mostly Mediterranean scrub with scents of myrtle, mint and thyme.
We continue through a chestnut forest on the slopes of Mount Trippodi (502 m) until we reach Piano San Paolo, a high plateau where fossils of small crustaceans show the island's eventful geological transition.
We leave the forest and begin the descent with a full view of the Gulf of Naples, the Phlegrean fields, Vesuvius, the Lattari mountains and the Sorrento peninsula. This trail is called Buttavento, where we pass by a 100-year-old oak tree. Various cellars in the tuff show us the connection between man and nature. The hike ends in Buonopane.
