Ischia lies in magnificent beauty in the Gulf of Naples, beyond Procida and across the bay from Napoli. The north-western side of the Gulf of Naples offers the splendour of the small island of Procida, known as "the girlfriend of the sea". Barano is Ischia's second largest town and one that has kept its painstakingly planted and tended vineyards and vegetable gardens.

Forio is a picture-perfect town, perfectly framed in its seting between the colourful landscapes of Mount Epomeo and the crystalline sea. Haven't visited yet? Have questions about Capri and Ischia?
