The 10 Best Things to do Good for Couples in Isola d'Ischia, Campania
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.

We had a half day visit to Sant Angelo, we took the bus from Ischia Casamicciola and went around the island until the end of the bus line. The little city has amazing houses, colorful and very nice and coloured tiles, which we loved. It was our goal to see this beautiful enchanting little village and take a bath in the sea. We also climbed up to the rocks, where many people were enjoying the sun. We took a boat instead and went to Maronti beach where we had a nice stay and ended our day by swimming in the deep blue and crystal clear water. You have to visit Sant Angelo, if you are on Ischia island!

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.

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.
