Punta Chiarito Hotel

Posted by robair 18 September 2005

It's a quiet, well-run hotel within easy reach of Panza village. Excellent seafood straight out of the sea. Sits on a rocky outcrop with excellent views, well away from noisy mopeds.

Sant' Angelo & Maronti beach

Posted by robair 18 September 2005

It's an old fishing port turned into a mini tourist spot. Quiet and warm enough to enjoy in September. Head up and round the coast to Maronti beach to laugh at jet set gauchos and their Barbie doll brides. Good swimming to be had, too.

Maronti Beach

Posted by robair 10 September 2005

It's a beach near Sant' Angelo on Ischia. Full of cheap pizza huts, good beer, warm seas and clean, crisp volcanic sands. Great to walk from Sant' Angelo or take the bus via Fontana to Barano.

Not far from the villages of Panza, Succhiavo, and Sant Angelo. Avoid the thronging masses of the northern Ischia and you'll find it.

Castello Aragonese

Posted by robair 10 September 2005

A rocky outcrop near Ischia Porte. Take the lift to the top, enjoy the views and descend by taking in the museum of torture devices from the Dark Ages. The English Navy gave it a good blasting when the French used it, but the fortress still remains.

Take No. 7 bus from Ischia Porte, 10 mins down the road. Easy easy easy.
