Ischia: Why It Should Be Your Next Vacation Spot, Ischia, Italy

On my second trip to Naples, I wanted to explore some new places I missed the first time around. That’s when I decided to visit Ischia. The photos made it look so cute and charming, but in reality? Even better! If you’re planning your next vacation, make sure Ischia is on your list.

Ischia is part of the Phlegraean Fields, a big volcanic area in the Bay of Naples, covering about 46 square kilometers. The island was formed by volcanic activity over millions of years, with the last big eruption happening in 1302 AD. This eruption, called the “Arso” eruption, left behind lava flows that you can still see today in some areas. Ischia is also known for its natural hot springs, the island’s volcanic activity heats the groundwater, creating natural hot springs that have been used for their therapeutic properties since ancient times.

We flew from Zagreb to Naples, and after a short flight, we were ready to find the airport shuttle. To do that, just exit the airport and walk straight ahead. The shuttle costs €5 and stops at both the central station and the port. Since we were heading to Ischia, we went straight to the ferry terminal at Molo Beverello. This is the main spot for catching ferries to the nearby islands like Capri, Ischia, and Procida, as well as coastal towns like Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast. ......
