When to visit

The best time to visit Forio is during the spring and fall months when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summer can be quite hot and crowded with tourists, so visiting in the shoulder seasons allows for a more enjoyable experience. Winter is also a good time to visit for those interested in the thermal spas and local festivals that take place during this time.

Getting around

Getting around Forio is relatively easy as the town is compact and walkable. Visitors can explore the town on foot or rent a bicycle to venture further out. Public buses and taxis are also available for those looking to travel to nearby attractions or other towns on the island.

Traveller tips

Make sure to try the local specialty, 'coniglio all'ischitana' (Ischia-style rabbit), at one of the traditional restaurants in Forio. Don't forget to pack sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the strong Mediterranean sun. Be sure to visit the famous Giardini La Mortella botanical gardens for a peaceful retreat from the bustling town. Take a boat tour around the island to discover hidden coves and stunning coastal views. Remember to respect the local customs and traditions, especially when visiting churches and historic sites.
