Situated in the Tyrrhenian Sea, Ischia is the largest island in the Gulf of Naples.

Beyond its beaches, Ischia offers a fascinating glimpse into authentic Italian island life with its fishing villages, terraced vineyards, and welcoming locals.

Ischia’s cuisine is rooted in its volcanic soil and maritime surroundings. Dishes like rabbit stew (coniglio all’Ischitana) highlight the island’s pastoral heritage, while freshly caught seafood is a staple. Vineyards thriving on volcanic terrain produce the renowned Biancolella and Forastera wines, perfect accompaniments to local fare. Do not miss the citrusy delights of the island’s famed limoncello.
Dive deeper:
For a more intimate experience, explore Ischia’s thermal parks such as Negombo or Poseidon Gardens, where ancient traditions of hydrotherapy meet contemporary wellness. Venture into the lesser-known Fiaiano Pine Forest for serene hikes or join a vineyard tour to taste the island’s organic wines. The Museo del Mare offers insights into Ischia’s maritime history.
Good to know:
The island’s currency is the Euro, and the best time to visit is spring or early autumn when the weather is mild, and crowds are thinner. Regular ferries connect Ischia to Naples and other islands, and buses provide affordable transport around the island. Pack comfortable shoes to navigate its rugged terrain.
Capri
The magnificent Isle of Capri rises from the Tyrrhenian Sea, offering an idyllic escape with its lush gardens, clear blue waters, and charming villages. Famed for its natural beauty, Capri captivates visitors from around the globe, from intellectuals to celebrities. The island is a haven of tranquillity and luxury, with narrow lanes winding through vibrant bougainvillaea-covered villas, inviting tourists to experience a timeless blend of nature and opulence.
Must-sees:

Restaurants often serve dishes featuring local fish and fresh vegetables, making for a vibrant dining experience.
Dive deeper:
Beyond its luxurious image, Capri offers a quieter side. Walk the scenic Path of the Forts for stunning coastal views or visit Anacapri, the more tranquil part of the island. For art enthusiasts, the Museum of Art offers a rich collection of local and international works. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness the island’s traditional festivals, where the community comes together to celebrate its rich cultural heritage.
Good to know:
Capri can be reached by ferry from Naples or Sorrento. The ideal time to visit is: spring and early autumn, when the island is less crowded, and the weather is perfect for outdoor exploration. While Capri is compact, walking or using the island’s funicular is the best way to navigate its steep hills and narrow streets.
