Ischia

Ischia, an island in Italy’s Bay of Naples, often remains in the shadow of its more glamorous neighbor, Capri. However, it boasts a wealth of natural and cultural attractions. The island is known for its natural hot springs and 21 miles (34 kilometers) of scenic coastline. Visitors can explore the resort towns of Casamicciola Terme and Lacco Ameno, hike to the peak of Mt. Epomeo, and savor local cuisine at waterfront restaurants. Today, travelers can easily reach Ischia from nearby Naples or Sorrento to enjoy its thermal spas and picturesque landscapes.
