Ischia
Although Capri leaves your breathless with its charm and beauty,Ischia( pronuced EES-kee-ah,with the stress on the first syllabe).,also called the Isola Verde (Green Island ) not as is often believed,because of its lush vegetation ,but for its typical green tuff-rock-takes time to cast its spell.In fact ,overnight stay is definitely not long enough for the island to get into your blood.
Ischia ,is well connected with the mainland in all season.The last boats leave for Naples and Pozzuoli at about 8 pm(though in the very high season there is a midnight sailing ),and you should allow plenty of time for getting to the port and buying a ticket.The last ferry leave fot Positano 6 pm.Ischia has three ports- Ischia Porto,Casamicciola,and Forio( hydrofoils only) -so you should choose your ferry or hydrofoils according to your destination.
