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.

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.

Famed for its natural beauty, Capri captivates visitors from around the globe, from intellectuals to celebrities.

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.
