Introducing Ischia
The stunning volcanic island of Ischia is the largest of the Phlegrean Islands and is located not too far from Naples and the Amalfi Coast. It’s the perfect island getaway for anyone who loves classic hillside towns and white washed villages that have been carved into the cliffs. A relatively quiet destination compared to the main cities in the mainland, this is the sort of place where families or couples can relax on the beach or watch the day go by along a pristine harbour. Seafood is pretty awesome here too so if you’re a foodie who loves to be by the coast, Ischia is the perfect travel destination.
