​If you're looking for some inspiration for things to see and do in Ischia then please see below.

The most famous sights are Castello Aragonese in Ischia Ponte, a medieval castle situated across a stone bridge. This is very much the iconic image of Ischia and a must-see for any visit.

Another great place to visit is the village of Sant'Angelo. The pretty little fishing village has a couple of beaches and a small selection of bars, restaurants and shops. There's also a really nice, gentle walk that you can take above the village and then if you want to you can take a water taxi back to the main village.

Another iconic sight is Maronti Beach, the largest beach on the island. As in the link above, you can reach Maronti on foot from Sant'Angelo but perhaps the real beauty of it is when viewed from the other side of the bay. This view is best enjoyed if you've rented a car or scooter, there's a small car park with a viewing area which is a great place to stop and take photos. 

Apart from Maronti, Ischia has dozens of other beaches. Some of the best ones can be found in the town of Forio which is the second largest town on the island. Forio has 4 beaches, Chiaia, Citara, San Francesco and Cava dell'Isola. The town centre is also well worth a visit, in particular the Chiesa del Soccorso church.

One of Ischia's unique characteristics is the thermal water. The naturally hot water can be found in dozens of places across the island, most notably at its thermal parks. The idea with the parks is to spend a day (or half a day) relaxing in the warm waters with pools of different temperatures, moving from pool to pool. The two most popular thermal parks on the island are Poseidon and Negombo. 

The thermal parks are private establishments where you pay to enter but you can also enjoy the thermal water for free, all year round at Sorgeto Hot Springs in Panza.

We've got all this way and haven't even mentioned the island's capital town yet! Ischia Porto is the transport hub of the island, the place with the most shops, bars and restaurants and also the liveliest in terms of nightlife. For shopping there's the main thoroughfare Via Roma while you'll find a lovely quayside called La Riva Destra with dozens of places to eat and drink side by side.

Another town that we haven't mentioned yet is Lacco Ameno. This is the smallest town on the island but it's got a little bit of everything and is well worth a visit and a great place to stay with a good selection of accommodation including several luxury five star hotels. 


You can walk from the main harbour in Ischia Porto to the Borgo of Ischia Ponte (home of the castle) in around half an hour, a walk that's mostly by the sea. 

On the subject of walking there are some great hiking routes all across the island. Perhaps the most famous is the climb up Mount Epomeo, the highest point on the island at 388 metres.

If you're looking for a good way of seeing all of the above you can take one of our sea or land tours of the island or alternatively hire a boat for the day which is probably the most fun thing you can do while you're here. If you'd be interested in prices for any of our tours or boat rentals just drop us a line at info@ischiareview.com and we'll get straight back to you.

Ok we hope that gives you a few ideas for your trip and we look forward to hearing from you if you need us! :-)

We specialise in airport transfers, boat rentals and guided tours, so drop us a line at info@ischiareview.com if you'd like information on the above services and we'll be happy to help. 

We're now advertising for various job roles including admin, sales and business development. Looking for enthusiastic and energetic individuals who speak English as a first language and also at least conversational Italian. If you like the idea of working in Italy and think you have the skills drop us a line at info@ischiareview.com with your CV and an e-mail explaining a little bit about yourself.
