Known for its thermal springs, lush landscapes, and seaside charm, it is the ideal destination for a relaxing holiday steeped in natural beauty. Whether you’re wandering the cobbled streets of Ischia Porto or bathing in ancient thermal baths, Ischia promises an authentic Italian escape.

Must-sees:

• Negombo Thermal Park – Enjoy the island’s therapeutic hot springs in a luxurious, natural setting.
• Sant’Angelo – Stroll through this charming seaside village, known for its quaint streets and outstanding seafood restaurants.

Culinary culture:

Ischia’s culinary scene is a delightful blend of traditional Italian and local influences, with seafood taking centre stage. The island’s most famous dish is coniglio all'ischitana, a slow-cooked rabbit stew flavoured with aromatic herbs. Local restaurants often serve fresh fish, such as anchovies and octopus, alongside simple yet tasty vegetable dishes grown on the island. Be sure to sample limoncello, the region’s signature lemon liqueur, made from the abundant lemons that thrive in Ischia’s volcanic soil.

Dive deeper:

For those seeking a more intimate experience, Ischia offers quiet trails perfect for hiking and nature walks. Visit the lesser-known Vineyard of the Belvedere, where you can learn about the island’s indigenous wine production. In the evening, attend a local festival, where you can witness traditional folk music and dance that reflect the island’s rich heritage.

Good to know:

Ischia’s landscape is dominated by volcanic activity, which gives the island its natural hot springs. The ideal time to visit is: late spring and early autumn when the weather is warm, and the crowds are lighter. Ferries from Naples run regularly, making Ischia easily accessible. While the island offers a range of transport options, renting a scooter or car is the most convenient way to explore its winding coastal roads.
