Giardini Ravino is a botanical garden on the island of Ischia that specializes in succulents and cacti from around the world. Spread across several terraces, the garden features thousands of species arranged in creative displays, from towering agaves to colorful echeverias and rare aloes. The paths wind through different microclimates, including a Mediterranean section, a desert zone, and a tropical greenhouse. Sculptures and water features add artistic touches, while shaded benches invite quiet contemplation. The garden also has a collection of citrus trees and aromatic herbs, and a small café where visitors can enjoy a drink surrounded by greenery. What makes Giardini Ravino distinctive is its focus on drought-tolerant plants and its role in conservation, showcasing how beautiful a sustainable garden can be.
