What to do in Ischia?

Ischia is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean, yet many people skip it to visit Capri, the Amalfi Coast or other more famous destinations. This is a mistake as the island boasts a wide range of sights and activities. To help you plan your holiday in Ischia, we have compiled a list of things to do with your private boat hire:

• If you’re a history buff, you will love visiting the Aragonese Castle, a medieval castle located on a rocky islet next to Ischia. The castle is one of the island’s main attractions and no trip would be complete without wandering through the many corridors of this iconic monument.
• Take a dip in the crystal-clear waters of the Bay of Naples. There are many beaches and coves which surround the island of Ischia and many are only accessible by boat. Our favourites include Pescatori beach, the Bay of Sorgeto, Scarrupata, Fungo beach, Cava Ruffano beach and the idyllic bay of San Francesco.
• Explore some of Ischia’s quaint, colourful towns. The prettiest ones include Ischia Porto, Ischia Ponte and Sant Angelo. Here, you will be able to admire the traditional architecture, vibrant markets and plenty of historical churches. These towns will also be able to give you a real glimpse into traditional Italian life.
• As Ischia is a volcanic island, we highly recommend trying one of the many natural thermal springs during your trip. The most famous ones are in the Bay of Sorgeto, where you can enjoy the warm water and volcanic mud.
• Finally, no yacht charter in Ischia would be complete without sailing around the stunning Gulf of Naples and visiting some of the nearby sights. Between Naples, Capri, Pompeii and Amalfi, there are plenty of sights to see in this Italian slice of paradise!
