ISCHIA, THE NEVERLAND
“The second star to the right, this is the path. And then straight on until morning. Then you find the way yourself, it leads to Neverland.”
Inspired by Peter Pan’s adventures, this Italian song, written by Edoardo Bennato, tells about a magical place with evanescent boundaries, a symbol of the vivid imagination that characterises children and dreamers.
It is inside your heart and you can find it again and just bring it out.
The Island of Ischia can be your Neverland.
And it’s the perfect destination if you can see it with a dreamer’s eyes.
“The best island in the World” in 2022, according to Travel + Leisure readers, is loved for its picturesque villages, thermal springs, unspoiled beaches, one with geothermally heated sand, and the “very nice and helpful” locals.
But the show is also in the sky, among the Milky Way and shooting stars: breathtaking postcards of an alternative island, just a few miles from the Movida.
This little island of southern Italy, located in the Tyrrhenian Sea, is surrounded by dark skies. This means that there is very little light pollution, which makes it an ideal place for stargazing.
BE AN EPOMEO EXPLORER UNDER THE STARS FOR A DAY
So, tonight we’re going to take you to Mount Epomeo, the island’s highest peak, 789 meters high.
Away from the city lights, you’ll find yourself in a “world” where the stars shine brightly, painting the sky with their brilliance.
Direct your gaze upward and enjoy the immensity of this journey.
As daylight falls, we’ll ascend the mountaintop.
On the path the night will slowly fall, accompanied by the sounds of the nocturnal animals and our footsteps echoing through the still air. The stars twinkle overhead, and the moon casts a silvery glow on the landscape.
At the top, we’ll fill with a sense of awe (the view is breathtaking, and we can see for miles in every direction).
We’ll stop at a charming mountain lodge, where a delicious dinner awaits us.
During that, our guide will tell us stories about the celestial objects that we will be observing. He (or she) will speak of the myths and legends that have been told about them for centuries (we are captivated by his stories, and we begin to feel like in a dream).
After dinner, we’ll step outside and gaze up at the night sky (the stars are so bright, they seem to be within reach).
We’ll use a powerful telescope to observe the planets, nebulae, and galaxies that populate the universe (we are amazed by their beauty and complexity. We feel as in another world, a world of dreams).
Filled with a sense of peace and wonder, we’ll start to descend the mountain (this night we have experienced something truly magical that we’ll never forget).
WHY CHOOSE THIS EXPERIENCE
Are you asking yourself if being an Epomeo Explorer Under the Stars is suitable for you?
You have to know that this experience lasts about 4 hours, and has a medium difficulty level, but it is also for eight-year-olds.
Above all, it is for you who wish to go beyond a trekking experience, challenge yourself with the darkness, and learn the tricks of stars’ asterisms and their amazing geometries, around which the most beautiful mythologies have been intertwined.
Well, if you recognize yourself in this description, then this experience is for you!
DON’T WAIT, COME ON!
If your lifetime dream is to stargaze in a magical place, then don’t miss the opportunity to do so in Ischia: “The best island in the World” in 2022.
To make the experience truly memorable, we’ll take you to Mount Epomeo, the island’s highest peak, 789 meters high.
The air is crisp and clear there, and the stars are so bright they seem to touch your skin (wait, breathe, and be patient. It may take some time for your eyes to adjust to the dark, but it is a sight that takes your breath away).
It’s a brain-stretching experience for the immensity we get to observe and the requirements of coming out of our limits to be able to understand the vastity of what surrounds us, beyond our daily routine and human dynamics.
You’ll feel at peace, connected to the universe** in a way you never have before.
And what better moment than the holiday time to have the **ideal mental predisposition** for this fascinating experience?
