The Ischia Film Festival, an annual international film festival held on the island in the summer, is just one example of its rich cultural heritage. Some of the 1963 Elizabeth Taylor movie Cleopatra was filmed there.

Ischia Porto, the busiest town on the island, has a wide variety of restaurants, including ones on La Riva Destra, beside the harbour, and along Via Roma’s shopping district.

Delicious regional cuisine will excite visitors’ taste buds, including freshly caught fish and authentic Italian specialities.

Depending on people’s taste, they can wash food down with a sparkling, tangy local white or a robust red.
