Campanica | Monitoring Italy's Campania region around Naples

THIS IS ISCHIA'S MOMENT IN THE SUN The Italian island, long in the shadow of its fashionable neighbor is newly chic, but remains deeply authentic, with rocky harbors more likely to dock fishing boats than megayachts. Ischia is one of a trio of islands (known as the Phlegraeans) off Naples that also includes Capri and Procida. With a surface area of almost 18 square miles, the island is home to a number of charming villages to explore like Forio, Ischia Ponte, Sant’Angelo and Casamicciola, among others. Add in natural thermal spas, lush vineyards and deserted coves, and it’s easy to see why Ischia is quickly become one of Italy’s rising destinations.
