  • Comune di Serrara Fontana
    Ischia Travel Guide


    Sant' Angelo

    Going uphill from Barano, you'll find the towns of Serrara and Fontana, which together with Sant' Angelo make up this next comune. This area is still full of farmers living off the land. Therefore, it offers a good chance to see a bit of Ischia's agricultural heritage in action.

    From Serrara, you'll get a splendid view of Maronti. You can also find the paths to Epomeo, Ischia's highest point and a romantic spot for a picnic with your beloved. This comune is also home to Aphrodite, another popular thermal park.

    Sant' Angelo
    You can reach this old fishing village, which is now a hot spot for trendy boutiques and charming restaurants, by foot or boat. Window shopping for things like coral jewelry and silk scarves is a lot of fun. I've also taken photos with my girlfriend from the rocks that lie high above the ocean. The colorful backdrop of numerous row boats lined up and anchored to the pier will bring your photos to life.

    This is where I'd leave you in the good hands of my girlfriend Francesca, who was born in the United States but has Ischitani blood running through her veins. Thanks to her heritage, she has a special rapport with the island, especially Barano, which is the last comune on our tour. Enjoy!
