Ischia things to do
Thermal Spas
As a volcanic island, the health benefits available from the thermal springs and volcanic mud are known across the world. Places to experience these benefits for yourself include the natural hot springs of Sorgeto or at thermal parks and gardens such as Poseidon or Negombo. You'll also find natural cosmetics created by locals from Ischia's volcanic resources.
Aragonese Castle
For a medieval experience, visit Castello Aragonese - a fascinating and iconic attraction in Ischia. At nearly 2,500 years old, this rock fortress gives a captivating insight into the history of the island. Bringing a statement feature to the landscape that grabs your attention, the castle grounds include a gruesome torture museum with examples of past instruments of use.
Wine Tours
With three main vineyards to choose from, you're in for a brilliant experience. Options include tours to Cenatiempo, Pietratorcia, and Casa D'Ambra vineyards. Enjoy the best of Ischia's wine in beautiful, relaxed environments. Casa D'Ambra is one of the most well-known producers of Ischia's wine and their history dates back to 1888.
Sorgeto Hot Springs
Home to an outdoor thermal park, the islet of Sorgeto boasts boiling and mineral springs, saunas and therapeutical vapours. Locals even use the natural boiling springs to cook eggs, potatoes and seafood. Sorgeto sees stunning sunsets and after dark you can enjoy a moonlit soak. You can access this secluded escape from the town of Panza.
Mount Epomeo
If you consider yourself reasonably healthy, then you'll enjoy hiking to the peak of Ischia's dormant volcano. The view from the top is more than worth the effort to get here and as the highest peak on the entire island, you'll see all of the picturesque surroundings. The quickest route is from Fontana.
