Points of Interest & Landmarks
Located on a rocky islet connected to Ischia by a stone bridge, Castello Aragonese d'Ischia is a romantic medieval castle with a rich history and stunning views. Visitors can explore the ruins of the 14th-century Cattedrale dell'Assunta, the Chiesa dell'Immacolata, The Convent and Cemetery of the Poor Clares, the Church of San Pietro, and a small torture museum within the castle complex.
The Castello Aragonese is truly magical, with its historic buildings, beautiful gardens full of cacti, and stunning panoramic views of the sea and the city. The scenery is breathtaking, and you shouldn’t miss the opportunity to visit this enchanting place.”

Great place for anyone interested in history. The climb is not easy, but worth once you are at the top. They did lock some areas behind doors, but there are still enough individual areas to see.
A really interesting place to visit. So much history that will really move you.
Beautiful setting and in an area with so many restaurants and small shops.
A really good day spent with a fantastic guide Paulo di Palma who is highly recommended
Absolutely gorgeous! We booked for Apertif. Walked around the castle afterwards on our way to dinner. The castle has rooms you can stay in, a restaurant, and a cocktail lounge. You must book via email on their website. Amazing place!
So beautiful castle surrounded by the sea and linked to the island through a bridge. We spent there almost 1 day because we were fascinated by the incredible views from above
So worth it! Well kept, easy to get around and the small pamphlet has lots of information. Beautiful views everywhere you look and worth stopping at the Café near the Olive Trees Garden both for the view and a granita.
Do not miss going to this castle on your trip to the island
It is not a tourist trap , it is absolutely breathtaking and a beautiful way to spend an afternoon!
They sell the last tickets at 4:30 in the afternoon and you could take in sunset from the glorious view point !
Ok... the comments about being in shape to tackle this place especially when it's hot are not overexagerated! I would not bring little kids or anyone that can't handle a bit of a trek. However there are bathrooms and cafés at the midpoint and top. Prices are really fair so don't hesitate to stop for a beverage and enjoy the terrace views. It's an incredible and massive structure with a really long history. It also has a some amazing views so for us it was more than worth it. Warning... the Ischia bus system is amazing BUT if you bus it to the Castle, Bus 7 has no air conditioning and is packed full. Also the bus stop is right across from the taxis just before the causeway to the castle. It's not marked so it's a bit confusing where to wait for the bus.

Spiaggia dei Pescatori
4.3
(899)
Public beach
Spiaggia dei Pescatori, also known as Fishermans Beach, is situated near Ischia Porto and was historically reserved for fishermen. Today, it's a popular spot to observe the morning activities of local fishermen. Similar to many beaches in Italy and Europe, this beach features beach clubs where visitors can rent lounge chairs and enjoy lunch. While the free beach may not be pristine, it offers volcanic sand that is suitable for children.
Great orange juice from a nice chap in the cubucle.Also lovely views of the castle.
Paul C — Google review
Nice place with clean beach. It was overcrowded and has no public shower or toilet. Have that in mind when you are coming. There is possibly to pay for sun-bed and then you can use the shower.
Second best beach on Ichia? Rent umbrellas or bring your own. Can be a bit crowded, specially in weekends.
Went on 22nd of August and it was too crowded, but still a very nice beach.
Perfect beach for people who are staying on the island only few hours. Very crowded during the weekend, the public space is very small. Highly recommended to bring/rent an umbrella (it’s possible to get one for 7 euro from one of the bars on the beach). Beautiful view!
By noon in the summer the dark grey sand gets too hot to walk on barefoot, so bring flipflops. The beach is a narrow strip between the road and the water, as you can see on the map. Not too crowded on a weekday in the daytime. The water is clear, but has small flakes and dust floating on its surface.
Good free beach. Take a towels and tents. It can be cleaner, but ok for city beach. Water is better in morning and evening when majority of tourists are off to home. Has a volcanic sand and is suitable for little children. There are little shops around where you can find ice cream, chips, water etc.
Best view to Castle.
Good local public beach in Ischia Ponte area

Outdoor Activities
Spiaggia dei Maronti is a popular beach on Ischia island, featuring a narrow stretch of sand for swimmers and sunbathers. The area around the beach offers picturesque streets with shops and typical stores, as well as colorful houses in Borgo San Angelo. Nearby attractions include Cava Grado and fumaroles emitting steam from the boiling sand.
Lots of space where people aren't trying to scam you for a beach chair and you can just put up your own stuff
Nadine S — Google review
I loved the beach and had a wonderful day. The only problem is that the black sand is very beautiful, but I ended up burning my feet a bit underneath 😂😂 but I recommend it.
Lovely beach for snorkeling and relaxing! We saw lots of small fish and even a black and yellow moray eel. In some areas you can see the CO2 bubbles coming up to the surface! There was a bit of trash though… a beach cleanup would be appreciated! Don’t forget to take your trash with you!
One of the best places on the earth, I can say.. I went early morning in a "bad weather " and it was amazingly beautiful with almost no one around.. I went again to enjoy the sunset as well.. a must visit place!
By far the best beach on the island. The lounger are also reasonably priced for the day and the facilities are great. The water and beach is additionally spotless. Overall, dreamy.
Lovely place, but It's a shame that there are not enough free beaches. For a single day at the beach you have to spend at least:
- 10€ for parking;
- 25€ for two deck chairs and a beach umbrella.
Amazing beach 🥰
Hiked here from Sant'Angelo. Well-marked trail starts near the arch at the entrance to town. Passes Fumarole Beach, then a climb with some dirt trails. Lots of options to beach, refresh, or eat at Maronti. I took the water taxi back to Sant'Angelo. Lots of fun and a must for Elena Ferrante fans

affordable
Restaurant
Belmare Maronti Beach, owned by Ernesto Mattera, is a hidden gem located on the beach. It offers a warm welcome and an inviting atmosphere. The Bruschetta and Salad Caprese are both generously proportioned and delicious. The Linguine Vongole is cooked to perfection, with plenty of clams and served al dente. This restaurant is highly recommended for its value for money and large portion sizes.
Big portions of very tasty food. The only minus is the bathroom which was a little dirty.
Irina P — Google review
It's definitely one of the best places on Ischia. Excellent service, fantastic food (huge portions, no extra fees for service, etc), and on top of that - gorgeous views! And you can easily check the menu online - huge respect for this 👍
Absolutely amazing! I was here with my whole family and all the drinks and food was delicious! We love the waiters and the environment, best restaurant for any part of the day: coffee, quick drink or dinner. Price amazing ✨10/10 ✨
Food is amazing with really big portions and in a very reasonable price range. Ate there most days of our ischia trip!
The waiters were making a joke and really nice, the lady who works at the till is so lovely too. Many thanks to the belmare team!
The service at this place is rather disorganized, taking a lot of time to take orders, bring food, bills, etc. The food is good but not exceptional, bar the portions which are generous. The toilets are poorly maintained.
What a find , great value for money spaghetti with seafood was beautiful and such a large amount of mussels clams prawns squid a honest to goodness delight .Go with a appetite as the portions ain’t small and staff were friendly and patient with a non Italian speaker .More power to their elbow
We were staying in forio (40 min by car) and after the first time we were here I drove 2 times more bc the food was just amazing. 19 € a huge seafood pasta and everything it’s just great. I can eat here everyday. And the services was great, u have to wait to be seated but if u lucky they can find a space and prepare a table for u.
Great ambiance by the beach and good service

Temporarily Closed
Restaurant
Located in the charming town of Ischia Ponte, Restaurant Auras offers a delightful dining experience with its delectable cuisine and stunning views of the castle. The atmosphere is perfect, accompanied by chill Italian jazz music, and the staff provides exceptional service with great recommendations for food and wine. With an impressive average review score on Google Maps, this restaurant is known for its magnificent views, delicious food, and attentive service from owner Paulo and his team.
We had dinner at Auras on our last night in Ischia and the experience and the food did not disappoint.
We had reservations so the table was ready when we arrived. Julio was our main server and he was so friendly and did an amazing job taking care of us the whole evening.
We chose this restaurant because it had a lot of vegetarian options. He made sure to understand our dietary needs and then he made some great recommendations.
They brought us some bread with an amazing olive oil to enjoy with our drinks while we soaked in the view of the castle that looms tall in the landscape.
The food came out and was so so delicious! I highly recommend the squash blossoms. All the food was amazing honestly.
It was a 10/10 on atmosphere and overall experience and a 10/10 on the food itself. I highly recommend this place if you are in Ischia…if you get Julio as the server that’s just a bonus!
Pro tip: don’t skip the French fries!!!!!

The best!!
I went for my 50th birthday dinner. Paulo the owner is so friendly. You feel like you’re at someone’s home. Service was impeccable. Views were amazing! Food was excellent. You need a reservation.
This place is a dream! Best seafood pasta in Italy! It was noticeable more delicious than other restaurants in Ischia too. The view is spectacular and the waiters are Soo kind and attentive! This place is perfect!!! Everything is delicious. We ordered zucchini flowers, octopus, wellington fish and pasta with lobster! Everything absolutely delicious! Better impossible! A must if you go to Ischia! Or to Napoli!!!
Our waiter was Julio and he was extremely kind and caring with us! He even gave a welcome message to me and my husband! To say the truth this restaurant has dishes with better taste than a Michelin star restaurant I went
Auras was the first restaurant we went to upon arriving in Ischia and needless to say, it was hard to beat! We received amazing service from the lovely waiter Giovanni who was very helpful throughout the whole experience! The food was absolutely delicious and the view was amazing. Would definitely recommend!
My husband and I went for his birthday and for our first night in ischia and it was a perfect experience.
All the food was great but we are obsessed with the pork and the fries. The fries are definitely a MUST.
The service was great, we did book in advance to get a table with the view but if you go late its very likely to find a good spot. Which is definitely worth it because the view and the vibes are perfect.
A must go spot in ischia for sure.
Tasty with an amazing location right on the water with an amazing view of the castle. The staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend, though it is more pricey than Google led me to believe. We had the tuna tartare and the squid with pork belly. Both were delicious.
Very good restaurant, Julio the perfect host. We ordered the seafood pasta and ravioli- both fresh, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavour.
The tuna tartare to start was exceptional, the Amarone by the glass delicious and the overall experience was superb. Highly recommended.
Worth every star twice over! The location is perfect : best view in town while just outside of the more busy part of the old town. The service is impeccable. The owner takes a lot of pride in his restaurant and offer a great personal touch supported by a tremendous staff - friendly, attentive and helpful. The food was delicious as well - not cheap but worth every euro. Highly recommended!

Seafood restaurant
Nestled above the waves in Ischia Porto, Ristorante da Bellezza is a charming eatery steeped in tradition, having delighted diners with its delectable pasta and fresh seafood for an impressive 70 years. This family-run gem offers a warm atmosphere where you can savor dishes like marinated anchovies that burst with briny zest and daily specials such as stuffed eggplant or stewed octopus.
We were lucky enough to get a tip from a local to go here for great seafood and we were not disappointed. This restaurant is the perfect place for you if you’re after authentic, delicious food, fantastic service and panoramic sea views at an affordable price. They are most known for their seafood pasta and it did not disappoint.

Best pasta and seafood on the island. 10/10 will definitely be coming back. Lemon sorbet was perfection. Amazing food with beautiful sea-side views. Highly recommend and would come back again. Fantastico!
This is a fantastic family restaurant. It’s no frills, delicious food, generous portions and such a friendly service. Just like a place like this should be. I’m so happy I ended up here. The seafood spaghetti is a must! Thank you for a lovely meal!
Went here for lunch and came back next night for dinner during Sunset!! The location is stunning and the food is Delicious. Great prices too for appetizers, main and dessert. Nuncia is the cook (+owner) and she is the best!! Amazing Family run restaurant incredible must try :)
Grazie Mille Nuncia!!
Ristorante Bellezza is a lovely family-run restaurant. We felt like we were invited to a family dinner – very warm and welcoming. The food was incredibly tasty, and we enjoyed it while watching a stunning sunset. We would recommend this place to everyone visiting Ischia!!!!
If you’re not careful, you will walk by Ristorante da Bellezza without noticing, and miss an outstanding meal. Operated by Nuncia and her family, she does all of the cooking. The best bruschetta I have had and my Italian friends who ate with me agree. Ripe, firm, vibrant red tomatoes mixed with the right amount of garlic, olive oil, and basil grown on the premises. Homemade bread with just enough of the bruschetta seasoning soaked in. Eggplant simple yet perfectly balanced flavors and oils you will want to soak your bread in. We had the seafood of the day. Molto bene! Fresh caught, light breading, a touch of salt. Moist when called for, crunchy when appropriate. It was unassuming but applause the most authentic meal we had while staying in Ischia.
Wow!!!! Absolutely no words to describe how delicious this was. And obsessed with how classic the decor and look of the place is. Stunning wine, beautiful fresh ingredients, amazing smells from the kitchen - a must go.
Food was amazing! We ordered 3 portions of the Spaghetti Frutti di Mare and a spaghetti Puttenesca. They give you complimentary bruschetta which was so simple and delicious. All the seafood was super fresh and pasta cooked perfectly. The woman who runs the place has a very friendly energy and makes you feel very welcome in the restaurant. Her mother does the cooking so the experience is very authentic! Reasonable prices for the quality and portion of the food too. Not to be missed and ofcourse there is an incredible view from the outside terrace to enjoy while you eat. Will definitely return during our stay in Ischia!
