Most of the Ischia day trips include visiting the nearby islands. Ischia is small, tranquil island, located near the coast of Naples. Ischia has a typical Mediterranean charm to it, but it is an idyllic location, not offering much in terms of recreational options. Thus, people wanting to do something more exciting during the day time should consider the day trip ideas listed below:

St. Angelo

Located in the Serrara Fontana Province, St. Angelo is a scenic vacationing spot. It receives a heavy influx of tourists during the spring season. This is a typical Italian town with its street-corners lined by small bakeries and cafes. Further, this town has scant, vehicular movement in the form of an occasional truck or supply-carrier. Another nearby town worth visiting is Once. Visitors can seek a cab-ride to Once. Another option is to visit the Cava Scura that is a few kilometers away from the St. Angelo Beach. Cava Scura is popular for its natural, thermal spas.

Procida

Procida is a small town and is often omitted from the usual, travel guides. However, this is an ideal location to explore the rural side of Italian townships. Visitors should taste the local delicacies served here to decode the true essence of Italian food. Procida is famous for its variety of Mediterranean lemons that are reputed to be the biggest in Italy. Visitors can visit the lemon farms, too, without worrying about entrance fees. On their way back to Ischia, visitors can take a small detour and go hiking along the trails of Mount Epemaeo. This is the highest peak in Ischia and is believed to be active. It provides a splendid view of the main town and the nearby islands.
