"Pithecusa” is the oldest name that has been attributed to Ischia. It has two possible etymological roots: on the one hand “Pithecos" means monkeys, so it would be "the island of monkeys", and on the other "Pithoi", which in Greek means large vessels therefore "the island of potters”. #ischiaismore #ischia #iamatraveler #thebestdestinations #islandlife #authentictravel #travelholic
