About Ischia

Ischia, the largest island in the Bay of Naples, is your go-to for sea views, thermal spas, and a laid-back Mediterranean vibe. It’s a dreamy mix of dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and charming spa towns—ideal for everything from romantic escapes to family adventures. You’ll find clifftop luxury with private beaches in the south, boutique charm in Sant’Angelo, and buzzing stays near Porto d’Ischia if nightlife’s your thing. Whether you’re after pampering or peace, Ischia delivers.

Ischia is a dream for nature lovers and culture seekers alike, with its lush, tropical-like coastal plants, shady chestnut forests perfect for hiking, and a climate that keeps everything beautifully green. While it’s not a place for open meadows, the island more than makes up for it with its striking sights—from a grand 15th-century castle and a stunning Moorish garden inspired by the Alhambra, to one of Italy’s oldest churches and several fascinating museums. And when you’re ready to unwind, its beaches are ideal for a laid-back Italian seaside escape.

Travel information

  • Ischia doesn’t have its own airport, so the easiest way to get to the island is by hydrofoil or ferry from Naples. Making the most convenient international airport Naples Airport. From the airport it’s about 20 minutes to the ferry port, and then just under an hour by ferry.
  • If you want to hire a car we recommend you visit our online partner, Rentalcars.
  • The holiday season on Ischia starts around Easter and runs through until mid-October. Summer, especially July and August, is the most popular time to visit, with Italian families taking advantage of the summer holidays. The prices, unfortunately, reflect that — and even the island’s buses are crowded come August. If you‘re hoping for a summer island break, but don’t need to visit during school holidays, we recommend September, which is almost as sunny and idyllic as August, but with a lot fewer visitors! If you’re interested in more than the beach, then you might want to opt for spring or autumn. Spring is mild and colorful, with plenty of sunshine — a perfect time to explore the island’s walking trails. While some hotels and restaurants close down mid-autumn, this is still a lively island out of season, with 65,000 local residents, so there’s always plenty open. And autumn is a great time to visit inexpensively.
