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!

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 ...

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!

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

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

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...
