Born more than 100,000 years ago, Mount Epomeo is the highest peak on the island of Ischia with its 789 meters. In reality it is a submarine volcano that emerges from the water and from whose activity, according to the volcanological history of Ischia, the volcanoes of Barano, Montevezzi, Capogrosso, S.Pancrazio, Citara and Sant’Angelo were formed. From the stratified formation of the green stone it can be deduced, according to the local Vesuvian Observatory, that the last eruption dates back to 1302. Along the slopes of Mount Epomeo and throughout its circumference are the six island municipalities: Ischia, Casamicciola Terme, Lacco Ameno, Forio, Barano d’Ischia and Serrara Fontana municipality from which you have access to the path that leads to its summit and from which you can enjoy a fantastic panorama.
