Ischia Porto is the biggest town on the island – home to the harbour where the ferry docks.
The town has given its name to the whole island and is connected to Ischia Ponte, the old coastal town with the magnificent castle.
Most of the island hotels are found in Ischia Porto, which also has most of the popular shopping streets like Via Roma and Corso V. Colonna. Discos, nightclubs, restaurants and the traditional tavernas and wine bars are also found here.
