Ischia Travel Guide

 melanief Says:  Take the ferry to mainland Naples, then take a bus to the train station and take the Circumvesuviana train to Pompeii. At the entrance to Pompeii, you will receive little brochures and guidebooks to tell you what is what. There are little hand held narrators available, you... 

 melanief Says:  The Aragonese Castle stands on a volcanic rock connected to the island by a bridge first built in 1438 by Alfonso of Aragon. The Castle was completed in 1492. Gerone of Siracusa constructed the first castle on this site - a simple tower - in 474 BC. The castle and... 

 plant_girl Says:  More a cove than a beach - thermal springs run down into the sea, and form hot rock pools to sit in. Access is by stairs down the cliff. The beach itself is free, with a good value cafe/bar and toilet at the bottom of the clif, beside the 'beach'. You can also get thermal... 

 melanief Says:  From Ischia Port, it is only about 9 miles to Sant' Angelo. You can travel by bus, car or boat. It is a beautiful little coastal town. 

 melanief Says:  From Ischia Port, you can find many boats available to take you around the island. It is a wonderful trip. The boat will stop in the major ports like Casamicciola and Forio to pick more passengers. Then the boat will tie up in Sant Angelo and you will have time to go visit...

 deebum25 Says:  An excellent fine dining choice in Ischia. The restaurant sits directly on the water so when you sit at the open windows you hear the calming waves outside. Dinner was exquisite. I had the degustazione pesce menu which consisted of four different fish courses, including... 

 deebum25 Says:  A friendly restaurant a ten minute walk from Albergo Saint Leonard on Via Scannella. The food was good and the ambience friendly. The polpi is excellent. 

 deebum25 Says:  A wonderful pizza place on the main drag in Panza. They offer a Pizza DOC which means that it is made with the best ingredients. They speak very little English so bone up on your Italian but are friendly and the food is very good. 

 deebum25 Says:  This was off the beaten path in Ischia, cheap, plentiful tasty seafood with a proprietor who sings and is happy to take pictures. A great place! 

 gmg61 Says:  Just on one of the most beautiful beaches of Ischia, this restaurant offers good food at reasonable prices in a nice location. You can choose to eat indoor (with live music) or outdoor at candle light or, sometimes at night, you can get a table set up just for you on the... 

 deebum25 Says:  The buses in Ischia aren't that complicated. The CS and CD buses circle the island continually and stop at all the main towns. The CD bus has many fewer stops, it takes the CS bus twice as long to make the same route. One bus circles the island to the right and one bus... 

 deebum25 Says:  We took the hydrofoil from Molo Beverello. Took about 45 minutes to get to Ischia Porto and cost 18 euro. 

 melanief Says:  These high speed ferries - called hydrofoils - make quick work out of transporting passengers to and from Ischia. It is a comfortable 50 minute ride to / from Naples in the wide and comfortable seats. Remember to pay for your luggage tax (1 or 2 Euros per suitcase) before... 

 deebum25 Says:  On Saturday night there was usually a party in the Panza city centre featuring music and entertainment. It usually started about 9 and runs until midnight. It's a very nice way to spend an evening.
