Sentieri della Lucertola : The Path of the Bays

Guide to the Sentieri della Lucertola trekking routes around Ischia. These paths are laid out in various lengths and difficulty levels to suit all kinds of walkers and trekkers.

The paths of the lizard (Sentieri della Lucertola in Italian), are a project created by the local government of Barano d'Ischia to allow visitors the chance to enjoy Ischia's mountain countryside with its spectacular views of the island and  its abundance of flora and fauna.
