Favourite Experiences:

• Bathing in Ischia’s famous healing thermal waters and volcanic mud
• Exploring the ritzy island of Capri and sampling the famous gelato at “Buonocore Gelateria”
• Wandering the pedestrianized streets of the charming Amalfi Coast town of Positano 

In October, I was fortunate enough to travel to Ischia, Capri and the Amalfi Coast – FOR WORK! This was my first time visiting southern Italy, and although the trip involved a lot of property inspections (which I enjoy!) there was also plenty of time to soak up all that these destinations in the Gulf of Naples and along the Sorrentine Peninsula have to offer.

You may have heard of the Amalfi Coast and Capri, but have you heard of the island of Ischia? A short hydrofoil ride away from Naples, this volcanic island is famous for its thermal spas, botanical gardens, excellent beaches, and charming little fishing villages. Compared to Capri and the Amalfi Coast, Ischia remains largely undiscovered by tourists. It’s a quiet and peaceful escape and I highly recommend you spend a few nights enjoying Ischia if you visit this region! Popular and ritzy Capri makes an excellent day trip from Ischia or the Amalfi Coast. The island of Capri is famous for its high-end hotels and shops, beautiful rugged landscape, and the popular “Blue Grotto”. It’s hard not to feel like a celebrity while in Capri! Don’t miss the famous gelato at Buonocore Gelateria – it was even more delicious than I thought! Lastly, the Amalfi Coast is an absolute stand out! In my opinion, you haven’t seen the best of Italy until you’ve travelled along this beautiful coastline and visited the beautiful vertical towns of Positano, Amalfi and Ravello.
