The island of Ischia - the largest in the Gulf of Naples - is officially considered one of the most popular health resorts of the Apennine Peninsula and nearby islands. Thermal waters that flow from hundreds of canals with life-giving springs, mountains covered with a white blanket, a beautiful clean sea and the unforgettable pleasure of healthy procedures - these are just some of the common reasons to go to the shores of the resort when planning a vacation in Italy. But before you taste all his bliss and affection, you still have to get to him.
Firstly, planes do not fly to the island, so you can only get on board an airliner to glorious Rome or charming Naples. The second option is more convenient, since you will still have to go from the capital to Naples: the ferry to Ischia goes from its port. Secondly, ships depart from Naples to the shores of the island only 5 times a day. And the last one is at 5 pm.
The best place to take the ferry is from the port of Pozzuoli. The travel time will depend on what kind of ship is carrying passengers (with cargo or purely passenger airliner). Also, the route can lengthen the approach to the island of Procida.
The regular ferry arrives in Ischia Porte 45-60 minutes after landing in Naples. And from here you can get to the hotel in any way. There are, however, only three of them. First: like most locals, prefer to walk.
But here it all depends on the place where the hotel is located. If this is an area remote from the port, then it is better not to tire yourself out with a hike after a flight and a long swim. Second: you can take a taxi. By the way, Italian taxi drivers are considered the most talkative, but also the most honest cab drivers. Although it is still better to agree on the price of the trip in advance. Most likely, it will not cost less than $10.
As an alternative, you can gather a group of 4 people waiting at a stop and traveling in the same direction and rent a taxi together. This solution is practiced everywhere in Italy. And the third option - the simplest and most economical - is to take the bus. A ticket will cost no more than $1.5, and its route runs through all the iconic regions of the resort.
As for further movement around the island, car rental is available here, but few tourists prefer it. On the one hand, due to the fact that most hotels are located in close proximity to the sea, and shopping complexes and attractions are very easy to reach by bus.
On the other hand, the island's topography is very mountainous, which makes driving on its roads much more difficult. Regarding the frequency of buses, the interval between them is no more than 15 minutes. And they work during the season until late in the evening.
Once you have collected your luggage and entered the main hall of Fiumicino Airport (this will be the ground floor), you will have two options to get to the Leonardo Express station. In any case, when you go outside or are in the airport building, turn right and follow along until you reach the escalator, which will be located in front of you (if you are on the street) or to your left (if you are in the airport building) . Then, following the signs you will reach the Leonardo Express station (on the right in the photographs, the main hall and ticket offices).
Trains depart every 30 minutes and Leonardo Express connects Fiumicino (Airport) station with Termini (Rome) station. The first departure from the airport is at 06-38, the last at 23-38. The first departure from Rome is at 05-52, the last at 22-52.
The Leonardo Express journey takes 31 minutes. At the airport, look for signs for Stazione FS, or signs with a picture of a train. Many pointers are duplicated on English language, a one-way ticket costs 14 euros (it’s better to take it in advance for a round trip). The ticket must be validated (in yellow composters, look around you at how others are doing it, or write with a fountain pen, legibly, the day, month, year and time when you boarded the train) after you have validated the ticket, or write the date and time manually , the ticket is valid for 90 minutes. (train schedule)
And so, with the help of Leonardo Express, you got to the Termini station (Rome).
Please note that the train sometimes stops at one of the farthest platforms, at summer time the train stops on platform number 24, (pay attention to the people around you, this will help you navigate). If the train stops on the far platform, do not go down to the bottom (to avoid getting lost) walk along the top until you reach the main hall of the station , ticket offices are located in the very center of Termini train station.
And so you are at the Termini train station. You must buy a ticket to Naples. Please note that the queues at the ticket offices are quite long, and the wait may take quite some time. There is an alternative way, you can significantly save time by purchasing tickets from special machines (pictured on the right, photo on the website) for this it is enough to have credit card, or cash. The ticket purchasing process will take a maximum of 5 minutes (5 languages are supported, English, German, French, Spanish and Italian).
If you decide to buy a ticket at the box office, here is an example of how to buy a ticket.
Un biglietto per Napoli (un biglietto per Napoli) - one ticket to Naples.
due biglietti (due bileetti) - two tickets
quatro biglietti (quatro biglietti) - four tickets
You will see on the electronic board (which is located closer to the railway tracks) and which will be divided into two halves.
Arrivi (trains that arrive) Partenze (trains that depart) and next to it is the train number, from which track, arriving or departing.
Treno (train) - train.
Carozza (carozza) - carriage.
Posto (post) - place.
On the ticket you will find the train number, departure time, carriage number and seat.)
And so you are in Naples.
After you get off the train, head towards the station. When leaving the station, you will immediately find a taxi stand; taxi prices from the railway station to the port (molo beverello) are 10-maximum 15 euros. But taxi drivers, like all over the world, inflate prices (they take advantage of their lack of knowledge of tariffs and language). You can contact me in advance, and I, in turn, will organize your meeting (they will meet you and take you to the port, at a reasonable price, and help you with tickets).
And so you are at the port! You need a ticket to Ischia. The main companies transporting passengers from Naples to Ischia are Caremar, Medmar, Ali Lauro and Snav. At the top there is an information board on which you will see the departure time, from which pier and the name of the company carrying out the transportation. (Keep in mind that there are two ports in Naples, Molo Beverello and Porto di Massa, fast boats depart from Beverello and sail for about 50 minutes. Cargo-passenger ferries depart from Porto di Massa, many with a stop on Procida Island, sail for about 1 hour 30 minutes) . The island has three ports: Port of Ischia, Casamicciola and Forio.
Also, there is an alternative way, from the railway station to the port, you can use public transport. After leaving the railway station building, you will have to cross the entire Garibaldi Square (about a kilometer). You can then take a tram or bus that will take you to the port. You can buy tickets for public transport at any kiosk,
un biglietto (un biglietto) - one ticket
due biglietti (due biglietti) - two tickets
trei biglietti (trey biglietti) - three tickets
quatro biglietti (quatro biglietti) - four tickets, Tickets need to be validated, after you do this, the ticket is valid for 90 minutes.
The ticket price is 1 euro and 20 centezims (kopecks).
With an area of about 46 km². The island of Ischia, part of the Phlegrino archipelago, is the most big Island in the Gulf of Naples. There are three dormant volcanoes on the island - Epomeo (789 m), Trabotti (512 m) and Monte Vezzi (Piedimonte) (395 m), which last appeared in 1301.
Archaeological research has shown that the island has been inhabited since the Bronze Age by its owners in different time became Greeks, Phoenicians, Etruscans, Romans, Ostrogoths and Spaniards - all historical eras of the Mediterranean region were reflected on this small island.
One of the main local attractions is the Aragonese Castle (Castello Aragonese), rising on a separate small volcanic island connected to Ischia by a stone bridge. The castle was built in the mid-15th century by Alfonso V of Aragon on the site of the ancient fortress of Hiero I of Syracuse (474 BC). In addition, tourists are interested in the Guevara Tower, the Il Torrione Tower and Villa La Mortella (in the town of Forio), Archaeological Museum Pitecusa (as the island of Ischia was previously called), the church of Soccorso (city of Forio), dedicated to the Virgin Mary of the Snows.
The nature of Ischia is stunningly beautiful: tourists are captivated by pine, olive and citrus groves, wildly blooming cacti, vineyards among harsh rocks, descending to small bays with sandy beaches, ancient churches in fishing villages, consisting of houses with multi-colored facades. However, the island is most famous for its springs - Ischia is replete with hot thermal waters that flow directly onto the sea coast. In that unique place the healing effect is harmoniously combined sea water, hot thermal springs and mild Mediterranean climate. It is not surprising that Thermal Parks have emerged on the island - centers for healing, rejuvenation, and restoration of the body, where stress and accumulated fatigue can be relieved with special thermal procedures. There are six thermal parks in Ischia, but most hotels also have their own springs and thermal departments with qualified medical staff, where you can enjoy warm water in thermal pools even in the cool season. Ischia produces its own natural cosmetics based on thermal water and mud.
