The Island of Ischia became famous most recently as the location for the film The Talented Mr Ripley. If you're a film buff you'll love wandering around recognising scenes where Gwyneth Paltrow or Jude Law starred. But you will also fall in love with the island. This is the largest of the Neapolitan islands and the climate, hospitality, landscape and eating options will please you. It's natural uneven and craggy coastline is beautiful but hides a deeper truth. Ischia is volcanic and the "island of the waters" is so called because of its hot springs and thermal activity. There are 67 fumaroles, 103 springs and 29 thermal spas that can help to cure illnesses, tone up your body and spirit or simply help you relax.
