We got to walk around the island and it was nice already having lunch set up for us. We had a nice lunch with a decent amount of food. Our only complaint was the ferry ride to Ischia. It was extremely choppy and several people got sea sick. However, it’s no one’s fault that this happened, just be prepared and maybe buy some motion sickness medicine!!”
