The scent of lemons the size of small melons, cascades of pastel houses tumbling down to the sea, and an all-pervading calm make the Bay of Naples a destination that instantly pulls you into the plot of an old Italian film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ischia in Italy and its tiny neighbour Procida are the absolute embodiment of the Italian dream, but <strong>each one plays a completely different tune<\/strong>. While volcanic Ischia is a celebrated green paradise full of hot thermal springs and endless botanical gardens, little Procida holds onto its status as an untouched fishing village where time stopped somewhere back in the 1950s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan your trip well and avoid the logistical traps, you&#8217;ll come away with <strong>a memory to last a lifetime<\/strong>.

During July and August, temperatures regularly hit 35\u00b0C, the narrow lanes burst at the seams under the onslaught of day-trippers, and accommodation prices climb to ludicrous heights. If you&#8217;re checking the Ischia weather before booking, this is the key thing to keep in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By far <strong>the best time to visit is spring and autumn<\/strong>. If you go between late April and mid-June, the islands will be beautifully in bloom, the air fresh, and you&#8217;ll enjoy the sights without the crowds. Equally pleasant conditions return from mid-September to the end of October, when the sea is still gorgeously warm after summer and perfect for swimming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to factor in <strong>the opening hours of the big thermal parks<\/strong>, which are Ischia&#8217;s main attraction. Complexes like Negombo or the Poseidon Gardens usually open their gates in mid-April and close at the end of October. The Sorgeto bay is accessible year-round, but in the winter months you&#8217;ll have to reckon with very limited ferry connections and most restaurants closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_on_the_Islands\"><\/span>Where to Stay on the Islands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a3b9f5a657c9&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a3b9f5a657c9\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1289\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ischia-lacco-ameno-il-fungo.jpg\" alt=\"Lacco Ameno on Ischia with its distinctive Il Fungo rock\" class=\"wp-image-234555\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ischia-lacco-ameno-il-fungo.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ischia-lacco-ameno-il-fungo-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ischia-lacco-ameno-il-fungo-700x470.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ischia-lacco-ameno-il-fungo-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ischia-lacco-ameno-il-fungo-1536x1031.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ischia-lacco-ameno-il-fungo-696x467.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ischia-lacco-ameno-il-fungo-1392x935.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Chiara Marra, CC BY 2.0, Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\ud83d\udca1 Tip for accommodation and experiences: We like to look for places to stay on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.html?ss=Ischia%2C%20Italy&amp;aid=2397601\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Booking.com<\/a>, where the cancellation terms tend to be the best.

The largest complex in all of Europe is the Poseidon Gardens (Giardini Poseidon) in the Citara bay near the town of Forio. A full-day ticket costs between \u20ac40 and \u20ac47, giving you access to over twenty pools with water temperatures from 16 to 40\u00b0C, including direct access to a sandy beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you&#8217;re after something truly special and more intimate, <strong>head to the Negombo park in the San Montano bay<\/strong>. This garden-and-architecture gem is best appreciated by couples and lovers of aesthetics, as the individual thermal cascades are cleverly nestled into a lush botanical garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admission to Negombo is a little higher, <strong>running around \u20ac65\u201370 per day<\/strong> including a luxury sun lounger on the beach, but the tranquillity and level of service are well worth it. The park operates from April to roughly 11 October and opens at half past eight in the morning. Don&#8217;t forget to pack a swimming cap, which is strictly required in most Italian public pools, though you can usually buy one on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_The_Sorgeto_Thermal_Bay_and_the_Most_Beautiful_Beaches\"><\/span>3.

It&#8217;s located in the south of the island near the town of Panza, where volcanic water at 36\u201338\u00b0C wells up straight into the sea waves. You can bathe in hot water even in the middle of winter or under a starry night sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting down to the bay does require a bit of fitness, however, as <strong>you have to tackle around 250 steep steps<\/strong> dropping from the cliff down to the sea. The alternative is to use the handy water taxis that regularly shuttle from the nearby port of Sant&#8217;Angelo. There&#8217;s no sand here, just large pebbles and rocks, so be sure to pack water shoes to avoid burning yourself on the hot stones right by the springs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you long for classic beach lounging, <strong>the island&#8217;s longest sandy beach is Maronti<\/strong>, where hot volcanic fumaroles even rise from the sand in several spots. For families with children, the ideal beach is San Montano near Lacco Ameno, with its beautiful golden sand and an exceptionally shallow, safe entry into the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- LKM_GYG_CARD start q=\"ischia procida\" lang=\"en\" rendered=\"2026-06-24T02:25:42+00:00\" v=\"1\" -->\n<style id=\"lk-gyg-styles\">\n@import url(\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Playfair+Display:wght@700&family=DM+Sans:wght@300;400;500;600&display=swap\");\n\/* === LK GYG karty \u2014 CRO redesign 2026-05 (namespace .lkx-) ===\n   C\u00edl: vy\u0161\u0161\u00ed CTR (hero + v\u00fdrazn\u00fd social proof + ak\u010dn\u00ed CTA, m\u00e9n\u011b \"reklamn\u00ed\").\n   Injektuje se inline do prvn\u00edho markeru postu (refresh_cards.py --inline-css). *\/\n.lkx-module, .lkx-module *{box-sizing:border-box;margin:0;padding:0}\n.lkx-module{\n  font-family:'DM Sans',-apple-system,Segoe UI,Roboto,Georgia,sans-serif;\n  max-width:860px;margin:2.5rem auto;color:#1f2328;\n}\n\n\/* HEADER \u2014 lehk\u00fd editorsk\u00fd, \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fd bannerov\u00fd blok;

Travellers and locals alike agree that this is <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Spot\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/the-spot-2\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">the spot<\/a> to catch the most beautiful sunsets on the island. Near Forio you&#8217;ll also come across the gorgeous exotic gardens of La Mortella, created by the wife of British composer William Walton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A noticeably more elegant atmosphere awaits in Lacco Ameno. <strong>This resort is famous for its symbol, Il Fungo<\/strong>, a giant volcanic rock bizarrely sculpted by sea erosion into the shape of a mushroom. This is where people come for luxury boutiques, expensive dinners, and evening promenades with a view of the yachts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the absolute visual gem is Sant&#8217;Angelo in the south of the island. <strong>It&#8217;s the only resort with a strict ban on cars<\/strong>, making it an entirely pedestrian zone full of quiet and calm. Pastel fishing houses cascade down to a small harbour and the narrow isthmus that connects the mainland with a small volcanic islet. It&#8217;s a perfect place for an afternoon coffee and a spot of boat-watching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lk-stays-module\">\n<style>\n\/* \u2500\u2500\u2500 RESET PRO GUTENBERG \u2500\u2500\u2500 *\/\n.lk-stays-module * { box-sizing: border-box;

According to local legend, the fishermen painted their houses in bright colours so they could recognise their home from afar when returning from the sea in bad weather. You won&#8217;t find any giant hotels or snobby establishments here, just nets drying in the sun and small family-run taverns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the scenery looks familiar, you&#8217;ve probably seen it on the big screen. <strong>This is the very backdrop used for the famous film Il Postino (The Postman)<\/strong> as well as The Talented Mr. Ripley. It&#8217;s worth noting that, unlike the series My Brilliant Friend, which was filmed on the beaches of Ischia, Procida is home to more melancholic cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Terra_Murata_and_the_Mysterious_Palazzo_dAvalos\"><\/span>6.

The climb up the steep cobbled lanes is a bit of a workout in the summer heat, but you&#8217;ll be rewarded with complete peace and the shade of the medieval abbey of San Michele Arcangelo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the complex is also the majestic Palazzo d&#8217;Avalos, which has a surprisingly dark past. This former noble residence <strong>operated until 1988 as a high-security prison<\/strong> for the most serious criminals.

Ferries to the islands depart primarily from two places: <strong>central Naples and the nearby port of Pozzuoli<\/strong>. Tickets from Pozzuoli are generally the shortest and cheapest (around \u20ac10.60 per person to Ischia), while from Naples you&#8217;ll pay about \u20ac14 and sail longer. You can choose between the slower large ferries (Caremar, Medmar) or the high-speed boats (Alilauro, SNAV), although the latter don&#8217;t carry vehicles. If you&#8217;re flying in from the UK, the easiest route is a direct flight to Naples (British Airways and easyJet both operate from London) and then a transfer to the port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re travelling in your own or a rental car, pay attention. <strong>From 30 March to 15 October 2026, there&#8217;s a complete ban on landing cars for tourists on Procida.<\/strong> You simply can&#8217;t bring your vehicle to this small island. Instead, you can only get around using the local EAV buses or by hiring one of the adorable three-wheeled micro-taxis (Apecar).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ischia the situation is a little more relaxed. In the summer season the ban only applies to residents of the Campania region, so <strong>as a foreign tourist you can bring a car to Ischia<\/strong> (you&#8217;ll need to use the ferry from Porta di Massa in Naples or from Pozzuoli). Be prepared, though, that most of the island&#8217;s towns operate strict low-emission and pedestrian zones (ZTL) in summer, where cameras will quickly snap and fine you for unauthorised entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- LK_CARRENTAL_PLACEHOLDER -->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Food_Vegetarian_Heaven_and_Famous_Lemons\"><\/span>8.

This exceptional spot holds a Michelin Green Star and offers a fantastic fully vegetarian menu made from local ingredients. On Procida, you&#8217;ll be charmed by the restaurant La Pergola, tucked away right inside a romantic lemon grove, serving perfect ravioli filled with artichokes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Procida, incidentally, is famous for its gigantic lemons, which have such sweet, thick pith (the so-called pane) that it&#8217;s used to make a <strong>unique insalata di limoni<\/strong> \u2014 a lemon-pith salad finished with fresh mint, olive oil, and a pinch of chilli. As for meat specialities, Ischia&#8217;s local jewel is coniglio all&#8217;ischitana (Ischia-style rabbit braised in wine with herbs), which you&#8217;ll find on the menu of most traditional mountain taverns. And to round off every meal, of course, there has to be a shot of ice-cold limoncello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Go_Next_from_the_Bay_of_Naples\"><\/span>Where to Go Next from the Bay of Naples<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a3b9f5a68286&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a3b9f5a68286\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1285\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/capri-monte-solaro-faraglioni.jpg\" alt=\"View from Monte Solaro on Capri with the Faraglioni rocks\" class=\"wp-image-234561\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/capri-monte-solaro-faraglioni.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/capri-monte-solaro-faraglioni-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/capri-monte-solaro-faraglioni-700x468.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/capri-monte-solaro-faraglioni-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/capri-monte-solaro-faraglioni-1536x1028.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/capri-monte-solaro-faraglioni-696x466.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/capri-monte-solaro-faraglioni-1392x932.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: \u041c\u0430\u0439\u043a\u043b \u0413\u0438\u043c\u043c\u0435\u043b\u044c\u0444\u0430\u0440\u0431, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have more time on your hands and want to explore the whole Campania region, <strong>the islands make an ideal launchpad for further adventures<\/strong>.

Ferries (Caremar, Medmar) and hydrofoils (Alilauro, SNAV) depart directly from the center of Naples (ports Molo Beverello or Porta di Massa) or from the nearby port of Pozzuoli, which offers slightly cheaper and faster connections.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781080997001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_bring_my_own_rental_car_to_the_islands\"><\/span>Can I bring my own rental car to the islands?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>In 2026, an absolute car ban for non-residents applies on Procida from March 30 to October 15. On Ischia, the situation is more relaxed and as a tourist from outside the Campania region you can bring your car, but you need to be prepared for summer low-emission zones (ZTL) in town centers, where entry is prohibited under penalty of a fine.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781080997002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_many_days_should_you_set_aside_for_a_visit\"><\/span>How many days should you set aside for a visit?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>For tiny Procida, one leisurely day trip will easily suffice. Ischia, on the other hand, is quite large and full of thermal parks and historical monuments, so I recommend setting aside at least 3 to 5 days to explore it properly and soak up that perfect relaxing atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781080997003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Was_the_series_My_Brilliant_Friend_filmed_on_Procida\"><\/span>Was the series My Brilliant Friend filmed on Procida?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Although many fans of the series think so, the story of Lena and Lina was not filmed on Procida. The famous summer scenes by the sea from My Brilliant Friend were shot on the beaches of Ischia, specifically on the long beach of Maronti and around the town of Forio. On Procida, on the other hand, the legendary film The Postman was filmed.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781080997004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_thermal_park_on_Ischia_is_the_best\"><\/span>Which thermal park on Ischia is the best?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It depends on your preferences. Giardini Poseidon (approx. \u20ac40\u201347) represents the largest complex in Europe and is great for the general public and families. Park Negombo (approx. \u20ac65\u201370), on the other hand, is beautifully integrated into a botanical garden and will be appreciated by couples seeking a more luxurious and aesthetic experience.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781080997005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_thermal_springs_work_in_winter_too\"><\/span>Do thermal springs work in winter too?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Large organized thermal parks like Negombo or Poseidon are closed during winter and usually don&#8217;t open until mid-April. However, if you want to treat yourself to a hot bath off-season, the Sorgeto thermal bay is accessible year-round, 24 hours a day, and completely free of charge.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781080997006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_I_definitely_try_in_the_islands\"><\/span>What should I definitely try in the islands?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Definitely don&#8217;t miss the local citrus specialties from Procida, such as the refreshing insalata di limoni (salad of lemon pulp and mint) or homemade limoncello. The classic parmigiana di melanzane is also an excellent choice. For meat lovers, a local symbol of Ischia is the braised rabbit called coniglio all&#8217;ischitana.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover Ischia in Italy and Procida, two gorgeous islands in the Bay of Naples offering hot thermal springs, pastel villages, and perfect calm without the tourist crowds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":234162,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","rank_math_title":"Ischia, Italy: 8 Best Things to See & Do","rank_math_description":"Discover Ischia in Italy and neighbouring Procida \u2014 thermal baths, pastel villages, free hot springs, and crowd-free beaches.
