Citalia Presents | Italian Islands Ischia & Capri

Though separated by just 20 miles, Ischia and Capri feel like they’re worlds apart. If you’re searching for the style and sophistication that Italy is famous for, a trip to Capri is the ideal destination to head to. At just under 6.5 square miles, Capri is a wonderful island to explore on foot, thanks to it’s large pedestrianised areas, here you’ll find award winning restaurants and designer shops home to the latest fashions fresh from Milan.
You’ll arrive by boat to the Marina Grande, home of Capri’s fishermen and the island’s largest beach, from there, Capri offers plenty of choices. Just a short ride in a taxi or bus will place you in Anacapri, here you can enjoy lunch in a wide selection of restaurants but if you want to build up an appetite first, take the chairlift to the summit of Monte Solaro for stunning, panoramic views of the Bays of Naples and Salerno and enjoy a leisurely stroll back down.
When mid-afternoon arrives you could take a bus back down to Capri to take in the views, browse the designer store lined avenues, shop for authentic Capri candles or stop for a cappuccino in the Piazzetta, however if you want to break away from the masses, a boat tour to the Grotta Azzurra or heading to the Gardens of Saint Augustus, only a short walk from the centre of Capri can provide a slice of serenity.
However, if you want to enjoy Capri without it’s bustling crowds it’s best to stay overnight and wait until the sun sets when day trippers return to the mainland. Evenings in Capri are often relaxed and intimate, with a wide range of bars and restaurants sure to provide a warm welcome and a stroll around the port or the sleepy backstreets allows you to experience this gem of the Tyrrhenian Sea like a local.
For a more authentic, rustic Italian experience, neighbouring Ischia is waiting to greet you. At over four times the size of Capri, Ischia offers plenty of opportunities to escape the crowds and unwind; from beaches and hot springs, to quiet fishing villages and mountain-top osterias.
One of the most iconic sights and tourist attractions of Ischia is the Castello Aragonese which has stood for nearly three centuries. Whether you view it from the shoreline at sunrise or brave the steps to the top and look back towards Ischia Ponte, this breathtaking landmark is a must see.
Alternatively, you could choose to take in panoramic vistas from Ischia’s highest mountain, Mount Epomeo which peaks at 788 meters above sea level or visit Sant’Angelo, a beautiful little fishing village with a quaint, unspoilt vibe and a choice of beaches just a short stroll from the harbour.
If you’re looking to unwind and relax whilst on Ischia, you have a choice of several thermal parks, gardens and spas where you can spend the day soaking away any aches or pains.
Whether you choose to visit Capri or Ischia individually or visit them both, you’re sure to be spoilt for choice when it comes to dining. With both islands offering a wide selection of cafes and restaurant providing traditional, authentic Italian flavours and more contemporary choices alike, Ischia and Capri provide a treat for all the senses.
