 A typical day in Ischia starts at one of the island's charming bars, where locals gather to sip coffee and catch up with friends. You’ll notice families bustling about, parents dropping off their kids at school, and fishermen unloading the morning's catch at the marina. To truly experience Ischia like a local, skip the menu and order a cornetto. This local twist on the classic croissant is a delightful pastry made from a soft puff pastry filled with custard and sour cherries, topped with a sprinkle of sugar. One bite of this irresistible treat, and you'll find the delightful crumbs scattered everywhere!
Ischia isn’t just about sun-soaked beaches and luxurious spas; the island's interior reveals a rich tapestry of landscapes, including lush forests and scenic hiking trails. A notable adventure is the trek to Pizzi Bianchi, a stunning area that resembles Cappadocia, nestled in the heart of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The trek involves navigating narrow gorges while securing yourself to ropes along the rocky paths. While you don’t need to be an expert climber, good footwear and some stamina are essential. The reward for your efforts is a soothing mud bath at the historic Cavascura spa, followed by a refreshing swim at Maronti Beach.
Tourists may find the slow, noisy Ape Cars amusing, while locals appreciate their practicality. These iconic three-wheeled vehicles, made by Piaggio, are a symbol of the dolce vita and can be spotted whizzing through Ischia's narrow streets. For locals, they serve as a reliable mode of transport, especially for reaching gardens and vineyards off the beaten path. For a nostalgic experience, take a ride in an Ape Calessino, reminiscent of classic 1950s films. While a trip in a micro-taxi might feel more touristy, it’s a fun way to travel and offers a chance to hear local tales from the chatty drivers, deepening your connection to Ischia.
A unique event steeped in religious and folkloric traditions, La Corsa dell'Angelo (Angel's Run) has been a beloved Easter procession in Forio, Ischia's largest municipality, since the 17th century. If you’re in Ischia during Easter, attending this vibrant celebration is a must to fully embrace local culture. The streets fill with both locals and visitors as statues of St. John, Mary, Jesus, and the angel take center stage along Corso Matteo Verde and Corso Francesco Regine. The angel, carried on the shoulders of bearers, runs through the streets amidst the sounds of a passionate, albeit slightly off-key, choir. The event culminates in a symbolic reunion between Mary and Christ, showering the crowd with confetti and the flight of doves—a truly unforgettable experience.
As the sun sets over Ischia, the warm summer nights come alive with sea breezes and twinkling lights from the yachts in the harbor. After enjoying a delicious dinner of local seafood or rabbit all'ischitana, head to one of the numerous bars and cafés lining the seafront for drinks with friends. The Riva Destra area offers a vibrant atmosphere, perfect for late-night singing and dancing, where you might even spot a celebrity or two. Wander through the artisan shops and pubs in Ischia Ponte, and savor local street food like zingara while admiring the majestic Aragonese Castle illuminated against the night sky. The gentle glow of the street lamps and the shimmering sea create a magical backdrop as you stroll, with the nearby silhouettes of Procida and Vivara almost within reach.

Who says you can only enjoy the sea and spa treatments in spring or summer? Ischia offers year-round activities, including diving, even in January, provided the weather is favorable. To experience this, activate your smartphone’s navigation and head to Sorgeto Bay. The journey takes you along a scenic road lined with lush vineyards, leading you to a viewpoint that offers breathtaking vistas. Don’t let the sight of the long staircase leading down to the bay intimidate you!

Sorgeto Bay, located in the hamlet of Panza, is a unique destination where you can indulge in therapeutic thermal baths directly in the sea. The natural warmth of the water—boiling in some areas—makes it an inviting spot even during the colder months. Although the return trip up the 300 steps may feel more challenging than the descent, don’t worry! During the summer, you can catch a taxi boat back to Sant'Angelo, easing your journey. For a special treat, visit Sorgeto at sunset to enjoy an aperitif in the warm waters or take a refreshing night swim.
September is a wonderful time to visit Ischia, as the island is less crowded compared to the peak summer months and hosts various events that allow you to experience local culture. One highlight is the annual celebration on September 12th, honoring Saint Mary, which merges sacred traditions with local festivities. The day begins with a hike through the picturesque woods of Mount Epomeo, leading to the quaint village of Santa Maria al Monte. Here, the small church fills with enthusiastic worshippers for the religious festivities. The day transforms into a lively village fair, where hearty local dishes like pasta and beans, grilled meats, and the famous rabbit all'ischitana are served, allowing you to feel like a true local.
One of the best ways to appreciate Ischia is by soaking in its stunning sunsets. The golden hour on the island has a magical quality reminiscent of the Balearic Islands, and it’s a communal experience to enjoy the view while sipping a beer, sitting at a seaside bar, or parked by the curb. Finding a perfect spot for sunset viewing is easy. While the town of Ischia showcases beautiful sunrises—especially from Ischia Ponte with the Aragonese Castle as a backdrop—Forio offers particularly breathtaking sunsets. Head to Piazzale del Soccorso, where the iconic church overlooks a panoramic square, and climb the steps to the churchyard for an even better view. If you’re fortunate, you might even witness the elusive green flash phenomenon right after the sun dips below the horizon.
In Ischia, you can even cook in the sand—not on a traditional grill! This fascinating cooking method is best experienced at Spiaggia delle Fumarole, which can be reached by foot or a taxi boat from Sant'Angelo. The beach is renowned for its high sand temperatures due to the island's volcanic nature. Just be cautious where you walk, as some areas of sand can be extremely hot! The steam rising from the grains indicates the volcanic activity beneath. Popular dishes to prepare include chicken, potatoes, and eggs, but adventurous locals sometimes attempt cooking fish. Regardless of whether you choose to try cooking in the sand, Spiaggia delle Fumarole is worth a visit for its stunning blue waters, scenic views of Sant'Angelo, and the opportunity to experience sabbiatura—a traditional remedy involving covering your body with warm sand.
