Ischia is the biggest island in the Gulf of Naples and the third most populous one in Italy, after Sardinia and Sicily, with more than 15,000 inhabitants. Famous for its natural thermal spas, in just 46 square km there are 29 thermal pools and hundreds of springs and fumaroles where one can bask in wellness while admiring a breathtaking view. Known as “the green island” for its lush vegetation from its volcanic origins, Ischia was one of the first Greek colonies in the Mediterranean Sea: the ancient Pithecusae. Just by visiting this island you can discover unique experiences: swimming in crystalline waters, trekking on Mount Epomeo, walking through flowered gardens and relaxing in natural spas which have made the island famous throughout the world. And there are plenty of occasions for tasting traditional dishes like the Ischia rabbit prepared according to ancient recipes in one of the island’s most famous restaurants. Perfect for romantics, Ischia is an island of sunsets: stop by one of the outlook points and be moved by the warm colors of the sunset that envelop the island.
In contrast with Capri and Procida, it is not possible to visit in just one day. To get a good idea of the island and enjoy what it has to offer, it is necessary to stay for at least a night or two.
