Planning a holiday in Ischia means choosing the right area to stay and thinking about how to get around. Where you sleep on the island shapes your daily experience: some areas are close to everything, others require a vehicle to reach beaches, villages or the port.
Choosing the right location and the right vehicle helps you plan a smoother holiday, without wasted time or last-minute surprises.
The main natural harbour and primary arrival point for hydrofoils and ferries from Naples and Pozzuoli. Convenient for services, evening activities and connections across the island. A practical base if you want everything within reach without a vehicle.
On the western side of the island, Forio is known for its sunsets, Citara beach and a wide range of accommodation. Further from the main port, it almost always requires a scooter, car or e-bike for transfers.
Elegant and central in the north-west of the island, with quieter beaches, thermal spas and well-kept accommodation. A good base for peaceful stays with easy access to both Forio and Ischia Port.
A municipality with its own port, useful for those arriving from Naples via Caremar. Practical position between Ischia Port and Lacco Ameno, with access to thermal spas and northern beaches.
A small, pedestrian village in the south-west of the island, romantic and quiet. Ideal for couples seeking peace, coastal views and less crowded beaches. The isolated position requires more planning to reach other parts of the island.
Barano d'Ischia is home to Maronti beach, one of the longest on the island, reachable also by boat or sea taxi. A natural and quiet area: guests staying here usually need a vehicle to move around.
Some accommodation sits in panoramic hillside or inland positions. Great for silence, relaxation and views over the gulf. A private vehicle is almost always needed to reach beaches, villages and services.
Guests staying far from the port or main beaches often need to rent a vehicle. Thinking about this before choosing accommodation helps plan a smoother holiday.
Those who want to explore the island independently, reach less crowded coves or visit villages away from their hotel benefit from choosing the right scooter, car or e-bike.
IschiaMotion is a local platform for requesting availability of scooters, cars, e-bikes, rubber dinghies, boats and beach clubs in Ischia through selected partners. Not a direct rental company, but a single point for organising mobility on the island.
Requesting a vehicle in advance, especially in high season, means more choice and a smoother start to the trip on arrival day.

It depends on your travel style: Ischia Port for arrivals and services; Forio for sunsets and beaches; Lacco Ameno for elegance and calm; Sant'Angelo for romance and quiet; Barano and Maronti for nature. Each area has different strengths.
Not always — it depends on the area and accommodation. Guests close to the port or town centre can manage without one; those in Forio, Barano, Sant'Angelo or a panoramic hillside position often need a scooter, car or e-bike to get around comfortably.
