The hot springs and curative mud treatments remain the island's biggest attraction, but the water can also prove quite entertaining! To this end, a number of "Hot-Spring Parks" had been opened in recent years. They are large, beautiful and very tidy complexes with pools at varying temperatures, waterfalls, waterslides, fountains, etc. They provide veritable Eden full of flowers sprinkled across the island. Ischia is indeed a microcosm, an island famous for its beautiful landscapes and beaches, nightlife and pleasant walks up to the peak of Monte Epomeo.
