Hands down the most amazing Cornetto al Pistacchio (cornetto, pastry similar to a crossiant, full of delicious Pistachio cream). I think about one nearly every day!
Bar Calise Ischia - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (2024)
This castle, fortress, monastery, museum (cafe, restaurant, hotel, wedding venue..) is endlessly magical! While there are many stairs if not taking the elevator (which supposedly exists) it is 10000% worth it to experience the view of the island and ...

If you're looking for the perfect spot to swim in gorgeous pools (of varying temperatures) and private beach access, Poseidon Thermal Gardens is THE spot! There are so many nooks and crannies with delightful surprises throughout the property that has...
Giardini Poseidon Terme
This is a sweet town located across the island from the main city of Ischia, in the town Sant'Angelo. There are some cute boutiques to check out and the view is pretty spectacular!
Marina di Sant'Angelo | Porto Sant'Angelo
While I don't usually prioritize visiting gardens, everyone and their father (specifically my husband's father) recommends the Giardini La Mortella as a must visit spot
Giardini La Mortella Botanical Gardens
Prochida is a neighboring island full of colorful houses and beautiful streets for you to explore, you only need a few hours to check it out, making this tour perfect
Procida Boat Tour from Ischia
My biggest travel recommendation to people, especially in Italy, is to schedule some time to just walk around! Go where your feet take you, you never know what unexpected cool thing is happening around the corner
Explore the Island
If you are comfortable (and get your international drivers license before coming) check out renting a scooter to drive around the island!

Eat here! Mouth watering sandwiches that I even saw some locals eating at, perfect after visiting the castle when the hunger starts to get real
Ischia Salumi · Via Luigi Mazzella, 100, 80077 Ischia NA, Italy
This town is wonderful for exploring in the evening (catch the sunset on your way). It is a lively place with people shopping, eating, and silently judging (the national sport, nothing personal) and the perfect spot to pick up some extra souvenirs
Lacco Ameno

If you don't have it already, download whats app. Everyone uses it here and its more reliable than normal phone calls (plus no one leaves voicemails here). Ensure you have an international data plan (or esim) as it runs on data

The best way to get to Ischia is by ferry from Naples, make sure to double check the port as there are 2 ports and both go to Ischia and back

If you don't have an international phone plan (or it is super expensive) you can check out an esim provider such as Saily! I haven't tried them personally, I wouldn't recommend the other 2 I have tried, and this one has many good reviews. But do your...
