Two very different islands

Capri and Ischia sit at either end of the Bay of Naples, and although they are often mentioned together they offer quite different holidays. Capri is small, steep and glamorous, with limestone cliffs, smart shops and some of the most famous views in Italy. Ischia is larger, greener and more relaxed, a volcanic island known for its thermal springs, its spa gardens and its sandy beaches.

Capri

Life on Capri revolves around the Piazzetta, the little square at the heart of Capri town, reached by funicular from the harbour at Marina Grande. From there, paths lead to the Gardens of Augustus, with views down to the Faraglioni rocks and the zigzag Via Krupp, and up to the ruins of Villa Jovis, built by the Emperor Tiberius.

Higher up the island, Anacapri is quieter. A chairlift climbs from here to the summit of Monte Solaro, and the Villa San Michele, created by the Swedish doctor Axel Munthe, has gardens with wide views over the bay. Boat trips round the island stop at the Blue Grotto when the sea is calm enough to enter.

Ischia and Procida

Ischia's warm springs feed thermal parks where you can spend a whole day moving between pools set among gardens. The Aragonese Castle stands on its own rock, linked to Ischia Ponte by a causeway, and the car-free fishing village of Sant'Angelo is one of the prettiest spots on the coast. Forio has the gardens of La Mortella, created by the wife of the composer William Walton, and the long Maronti beach runs along the south coast beneath Monte Epomeo.

Nearby Procida, the smallest of the bay's three main islands, is easy to visit from Ischia for its colourful harbour houses at Marina Corricella.

Food on the islands is simple and seasonal: insalata caprese, torta caprese made with almonds and chocolate, lemons turned into limoncello, and on Ischia, rabbit slow-cooked in a pot with tomato and herbs.

Both islands are reached by ferry or hydrofoil from Naples, with Capri also served from Sorrento, and Naples airport is the nearest. May, June and September are the most comfortable months to visit. Explore the wider Amalfi Coast region, or browse the villas listed below to choose your island.
