Ischia
Ischia is a volcanic island at the northern entrance to the Bay of Naples, in southern Italy. Known to the Greeks as Pithekoussai, it was settled by Euboean traders in the 8th century BCE, one of the earliest Greek settlements in the western Mediterranean, before they founded Cumae on the mainland. Its thermal springs have made it a resort since Roman times.
