Ischia does not have a single best season. The right month depends on what you want from the island. Warm water and long swimming days point toward summer.

Capri, Ischia, and Procida share the same Gulf of Naples, but they do not offer three versions of the same island day. Capri is defined by a coastline of limestone cliffs, sea caves, and rock formations. Ischia is larger and more varied, with thermal water, beaches, distinct towns, and a…
