Explore The Island Of Ischia, Italy

Bytravelwithsandi

The charming volcanic island of Ischia rises out of the brilliant blue waters of Bay of Naples and is perfect for a day trip from Naples. Known for thermal baths, beautiful beaches, and delicious food, touring around the island is like being in a pretty picture postcard. Hike Monte Epomeo or walk the copious steps to Aragonese Castle for a little exercise before dining on a plate of Coniglio all’ischitana (rabbit stew) with a glass of local vino. Ischia is a southern Italy hidden gem. Take a day trip to explore the island of Ischia Italy.

Prati Food Tour

Bytravelwithsandi

My favorite way to explore a new-to-me area is on food tours. Food tour guides are typically knowledgeable about the local cuisine, of course, but also the area’s history. They know their neighborhood and the people that make it special. Rome is one of those amazing cities where you can eat your way through time with each area imparting a unique perspective. This neighborhood was new for me so booking a Prati food tour was top on my to do list. It was delicious, fun, and interesting. Andiamo!

Cruising on a luxury ocean liner, floating along on a river cruise ship, or sailing around the harbor on a catamaran, I love being on the water.

Stops Along A Rhine River Cruise

Bytravelwithsandi

The gourmet dining menu is well crafted. Unlike the humongous cruise ships, the River Cruise ships have two dining rooms. The main dining room serves a chef special every night that reflects the region the ship is sailing through. Escargot in Alsace and a beer garden fest in Cologne are items you might find on the daily chef’s menu. There is always a traditional steak, chicken, or fish options available along with a “healthy choice” menu. Anyway you slice it, AmaWaterways chefs serve up fabulous food.
