Where To Stay in Ischia: Best Hotels and Neighborhoods
Why should you go to Ischia? I love the Amalfi Coast, but it is expensive and very much overrun with tourists. If you are looking for similar geographic conditions and you are ok with more basic accommodation, you’ll love Ischia.
The food is among the best in all of Italy and the cost will be far less than that of the Amalfi Coast. I would most definitely go here with the wife and kids to enjoy an amazing holiday, eat great, and save thousands compared to that of Capri. The island is broken down into 4 main areas.
Ischia Town
This is the Northeastern side of the island. The town has lots of beaches, colorful vibes, and an amazing castle as a backdrop. Definitely for people who like lots going on and possibly some nightlife.
Southern Part of Ischia
The southern portion of Ischia feels a little bit more remote which many people like including myself. You get some cool geographic diversity here. The cliffs get pretty steep which means less inhabitants and less of a “crowded feel”. You also have really cool rock formations which makes the area feel special.
Western Ischia (Forio)
Forio and surrounding areas is heavily populated and full of hotels. The area is more flat, but there is a huge cliff on the southern side of Spiaggia di Citara which makes the area more dynamic. Definitely find some great accommodation deals here.
Northern Ischia (Lacco Ameno)
Northern Ischia is a pretty posh area with some fancy hotels. Lots to do and close proximity to Punta Spaccarerlo and Bosco di Zaro which have beautiful terrain.
