Ischia is a volcanic island in the Bay of Naples, effortlessly inspiring wanderlust. Scattered with picturesque spa towns and adorned with gardens, vineyards, and forests, its postcard-perfect setting provides a serene backdrop for rejuvenation. Its mineral-infused thermal waters are a major lure for R&R seekers, and you can enjoy them in natural settings like Maronti Beach, where they bubble up from rock pools.
There's plenty else to do here too: you can visit submerged Roman ruins at Cartaromana Beach, explore the handsome Aragonese Castle which sits atop a cliff, hunt for ceramics at gently bustling handicraft markets, or dine on sumptuous local seafood.
