Ischia boat tours: all the places to discover

If you are on vacation in Ischia, a boat tour is totally a must-do experience. Sant’Angelo is one of the most popular destinations in the area, as this small, picturesque seaside village can only be reached by boat. This tour can also be done in half a day, for those in a bit of a hurry.

A full island tour is the recommended choice for those visiting Ischia for the first time. Among the many things to see, from the boat you get to admire the imposing Aragonese Castle that stands on the coast, the famous and legendary Grotto of the Magician, and the rock renamed Maradona’s Foot, because of its shape that resembles a foot.

A tour of the island by boat is sure to touch on the most beautiful beaches and bays, such as San Montano and San Pancrazio or Maronti beach, popular for its warm water. Due to its volcanic origins, the island of Ischia is also famous for its thermal parks that attract thousands of tourists each year, including from abroad.

From the port of Naples or Sorrento, you can reach Ischia even only through a one-day tour. For a tour of the island, you can set sail from Ischia Porto and other island towns such as Forio, Lacco Ameno and Casamicciola Terme. From Ischia, it is also possible to leave to visit Capri and Procida.

Green Grotto of Ischia, a wonder accessible only by sea

Ischia’s Green Grotto has a unique feature that makes it increasingly popular among adventurers. Swimming in it, you can reach a small inlet with a crystal-clear and very shallow seabed. You also witness a special phenomenon due to the encounter of light rays and water reflections: you turn green. This cave is located on the southeastern side of the island and can only be reached by boat.

Boat tours to the bay of San Pancrazio

Another place not to be missed if you are visiting the island of Ischia is the Bay of San Pancrazio, with its small pebble beach and its many ravines. Because of this conformation, San Pancrazio is a pristine paradise for snorkelers. Octopus, redfish, sole and other fish can be spotted. On the rocks, on the other hand, sea urchins and other shellfish abound and are often harvested to cook excellent seafood dishes.
