Highlights

Embark on an unforgettable journey to Ischia! After about an hour and a half at sea, you’ll arrive on the island, greeted by the majestic Aragonese Castle, a symbol of Ischia’s rich history and charm. The island is larger than Capri, so one day isn’t enough to explore it all—but it’s perfect for a taste of some of its six enchanting towns. Don’t miss the Giardini della Mortella, one of Italy’s most important botanical gardens, home to over 1,000 rare and exotic plants. From Ischia Porto, enjoy a pleasant stroll to the Castle and let yourself be mesmerized by its breathtaking beauty. And how about a relaxing break in a thermal spa? Sitting atop an ancient magmatic chamber, Ischia’s natural hot springs bubble up from the earth. Unique spots like Sorgeto Bay let you soak in warm water that mingles with the sea—a truly magical experience. Every year, visitors flock here for rejuvenating and therapeutic moments unlike anywhere else.

About Positano

Positano tumbles down a steep hillside to the sea on the Amalfi Coast, a vertical village of pastel houses, bougainvillea and boat-filled coves.

The village spills from the mountainside to the Spiaggia Grande, its main beach, in a cascade of pink, peach and yellow houses linked by stairways. The majolica-tiled dome of the Church of Santa Maria Assunta glints above the shore, and narrow lanes are lined with boutiques selling linen, handmade sandals and ceramics.

Top-ranked sights in Positano: Spiaggia Grande, Church of Santa Maria Assunta (Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta), Fornillo Beach.
