There are so many things to see in Ischia and different parts of it will appeal to different people. For many, it's the island's beaches that are the main attraction with around twenty to choose from.
The large number of beaches alone marks Ischia out as quite unique compared to the likes of Capri, Sorrento or the Amalfi Coast where there are a mixture of beach establishments with decking areas or single towns with one main beach. Away from the beaches there's the sense of history provided by sights including Castello Aragonese while nature has blessed Ischia with hot thermal water and a lush, green interior. |
