💡 Tips
- Visit Maronti beach early to grab a good spot, as it's the largest on Ischia and gets busy.
- The Nitrodi hot springs are healing; don't use soap after bathing to let the minerals work.
- Driving down the serpentine road to Maronti has great views but can be narrow; consider the local bus (Line 5).
- Local wine is excellent; many vineyards offer small tastings directly on the hillside.
