Ischia at sunset
The best sunsets on Ischia: where to watch them
Ischia faces west — sunset is at home here. From Citara beach to the Serrara Fontana belvedere, these are the best places to watch it.
01
Citara beach (Forio)
A wide west-facing bay with golden sand. The sun drops straight into the sea. An aperitivo at one of the beach kiosks is almost a ritual.
02
Chiesa del Soccorso (Forio)
A small white church on a rock spur above the sea. A 180° view of the horizon. One of the most photographed sunset spots in Italy.
03
Belvedere di Serrara Fontana
High on the island's southern ridge. A view that takes in Sant'Angelo, Capri, Vesuvius. Ideal if you have a car.
04
Lacco Ameno seafront
Sunset here is more intimate: the sun sets behind Forio, the Fungo stands in silhouette. A glass outdoors and you have the right seat.
05
Monte Epomeo
789 metres, the island's peak. Those who hike up at sunset get one of the Mediterranean's most memorable panoramas — the whole gulf of Naples below.
