Rode the ferry from Naples and spent a few hours at Ischia, I walked from the Port to the Castello Aragonese. It was about a 50 minute walk and I was not hurrying, you pass many great shops, bars and dining options. Bing Maps says it is a little over 1.5 miles and it is mostly flat. If you don’t... More

Lots of history and amazing views of Ischia. Loved the tame gulls which would pose for photos in return for food. More

A landmark you should not miss when visiting Ischia. Very impressive architecture and size, great location with beautiful views of Ischia and the Mediterranean sea and some good restaurants and hotels close by.

Wonderful hosts (Giulio and Rosa) and staff who go out of their way to accomodate you. The evening meal is always interesting and wonderfully prepared by Francesco. It's simple and... More

The castle is amazing for a number of reasons: 1) it offers gorgeous views of both Procida and Ischia Ponte; 2) it provides a mesmorizing historical physical account of the island; and 3) it is simply one of the world's most beautiful sights. I would recommend taking about three hours out of your day to tour it. It's in Ischia... More
