Local Guide

Location & Setting

• Ischia has always been attractive for its wild beauty, healing thermal springs and excellent vineyard. A 29-squaremile island of parched tufa and bougainvillea, also commonly known as Isola Verde for its extremely fertile soils. Just off the Amalfi coast, Ischia is Capri’s more mysterious and eclectic sister, one of Italy’s best-kept secrets.

Explore the Island

• Lacco Ameno is a place to stroll by the sea, enjoy an aperitif, admire the bay’s centrepiece ‘funghi’ rock, eroded by time. The Greeks first landed here bringing vines and wine, they left behind a trove of pottery, which can be seen in the museum beneath the Church of Santa Restituta.

• The greatest treasure is the 700BC Nestor’s Cup, on view at Villa Arbusto museum, former home of the 1950's film magnate, Angelo Rizzoli. The cup bears a three-line inscription which is one of the oldest known example of writing in the Greek alphabet, it promises "...the one who drinks form this cup will suddenly fall in love with Aphrodite and her beautiful crown".

• Forio is a charming town by the sea, home to the pretty Chiesa del Soccorso and lined with shops and eateries, with a lively evening atmosphere. It is also home to the renowned botanical garden La Mortella.

• St Angelo is traditionally a fishing town, on the south side of the island. It has a typical Mediterranean feel, with white washed facades, and many restaurants and cafes by the port.

Via Roma has all the boutiques, great ice cream is at Cicco, pick up a cone and make an evening passeggiata towards the majestic Aragonese Castle
