Ischia, Italy

This delightful volcanic island is one of the Mediterranean’s best-kept secrets. It lies in the Tyrrhenian Sea to one side of the Gulf of Naples, close to the famous Neapolitan Riviera. It is a lovely spot for an Italian holiday. The scenery is truly stunning with mountainous landscapes. Many are attracted by the hot thermal springs and spas. The island also boasts ancient Roman sites and centuries-old vineyards. Mount Epomeo, at over 2,500ft, is Ischia’s highest peak – head to the top for spectacular views of the island and the Bay of Naples. Its beaches are famous and are long stretches of sand, backed by verdant hills. The beach of Maronti is the longest on the island – climb above it to look over the small, attractive isthmus of Sant’Angelo. Take a boat tour to explore the island’s picturesque coastline of turquoise coves and sandy bays. One of Ischia’s most iconic landmarks is the island fort of Aragon Castle, dating from 474 BC. Serious culture vultures can head across the Bay of Naples to visit the world-famous sites of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Sorrento and Capri, which are all within easy reach of Ischia.
