Aboard a low‑slung Cilento gozzo, the island of Ischia opens like a coastal map you can touch: cliffs weathered by volcanic steam, coastal houses stacked in sun-washed colors, and bays that invite a midday plunge. The skipper eases the boat away from the quay and the harbor’s bustle dissolves into gull calls and the soft slap of wake.
