Things to do in Ischia – top Ischia must-see attractions

Ischia is a volcanic island off the coast of Naples whose landmarks tell a layered story of Greek settlers, medieval rulers, and centuries of natural forces at work. What to do in Ischia, Italy spans everything from climbing a 788-meter volcano and touring a 2,500-year-old sea fortress to wandering rare exotic gardens - all within one small island. You can explore the medieval towers of Castello Aragonese, sniff out rare tropical blooms at Giardini La Mortella, and hike to the rocky summit of Mount Epomeo for sweeping bay views. Read on to find out which spots actually deserve a spot on your itinerary.
