10 Hidden Gems Things to do in Isola d'Ischia That You Shouldn't Miss
The largest and many say most beautiful island in the Bay of Naples, Ischia is renowned for its curative spas. Ferries and hydrofoils connect Naples to Ischia Porto, the main town. Nearby at Ischia Ponte (connected to the main island by a foot bridge) are the magnificent Castello Aragonese and Guevara Tower. Forio on the island’s west coast, Lacco Ameno in the northwest and Sant’Angelo in the south are the liveliest resort towns. Casamicciola Terme in the north is one of Europe’s oldest spas.

One of the best experiences ever! Roberto took us for a fabulous tour around Ischia and then Capri. He knew all the best spots and we could experience the perfect day without stressing out about anything. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch treated us like VIPs and all was done in a superb professional and non intrusive way. Also, having had such a great experience, we decided to book him for the private transfer from Ischia directly to the Naples airport Since we had an early flight. Result? Much faster, less stressful and overall convenient rather than public transportation. Would highly recommend for anyone interested in a beautiful and relaxing vacation. Thanks to Roberto and his staff.

It seems like most take the bus and then walk a couple of kilometers up to the top, firstly by a small road and the last bit by the trail. We took the long hike from Casamicciola and the shorter hike but still by trail back to the same starting point, giving us a nice daytrip of just under 6 hours, and also 13 kilometers of hiking through stunning scenery with spectacular views. The Restaurant on the top is a good place with an awesome view and a good break for coffee and something to eat. We took it kind of slow going up since we had a first time hiker with us.
5. Giardini Ravino
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 533 reviews
This year, among the highlights of new openings in Ischia, we recommend an original garden worth visiting. Open only a few days a week, the garden offers a fascinating walk through a variety of exotic and local vegetation. On display, among water streams, is an impressive collection of cacti and other plants that look like natural sculptures - a collection gathered over 30 years which is a must see for any any garden fan.

I loved this garden. Though small in area, it makes the maximum use of space and different levels to show off an amazing variety of different cactus plants. You don't even have to be a cactus fan to enjoy it, the place is artistic and just a pleasure to explore. Right at the centre is a whitewashed building that used to be little old winery, but now acts as the cafe / restaurant. It's a really nice place to relax, on a terrace with quirky wooden furniture and sun canopies - slightly bohemian. Peacocks strut around freely, being noisy but amusing show-offs. We had a simple tasty lunch of Linguini Al Lemone - a little hand written sign in the cafe said the lemons used were picked from the garden. It's perfectly possible to walk to Giardini Ravino from Forio town. Head along the coast road towards the Poseiden thermal resort but turn uphill past the "Lovers Rocks" (Google maps will guide you.) The last bit of the walk is fairly steep, but not a problem unless its terribly hot.

I seemed to have missed this during my first trip...but thankfully, my new friends treated me to a great evening in this little piece of heaven. Though not for the faint of heart....there are at least a few hundred steps to descend to Sorgeto Bay and in my humble opinion, well worth it. We chose the end of the workday to go (so likely less crowded than other times of day during high season). There are in fact several formed pools if you will, each feeling different in temperature. PLEASE NOTE, one of the first pools closest to shore (has signage) but is in fact boiling water. You do NOT want to step in there The rest is to be enjoyed, alternating between spots in the various sections is very invigorating! A great leisurely time in a unique, natural spa... AND IT’s 100% FREE!! There is a restaurant there if you get thirsty or hungry or need fuel for the steps back to the top!!! Go and have a wonderful, relaxing time!!!
9. Antiche Terme Romane di Cavascura

Reviewed By FourWindsTravelling - Toronto, Canada
Although originally discovered by Ancient Greece colonizers 2,500 years ago, it was not until the Roman Empire that the many benefits of the Cavascura hot springs were developed into bathing, natural cave sauna and mineral shower facilities for the swinging elite of Rome. Very basic but totally authentic baths, definitely not glamorous. My wife and I enjoyed the hot mud bath treatment where you strip down and lie in hot mud then wrapped in a sheet to enhance the therapeutic seeping of the mud's minerals deep into your joints and bones. So soothing that we were lulled into blissful serenity. 30 Euro each for 3 hours in this simple, pleasurable paradise.
