TOP OF CHAPTER
Ischia
POP 61,100
Sprawling over 46 sq km, Ischia is the biggest and busiest island in the bay. It's a lush
concoction of sprawling spa towns, mud-wrapped Germans and ancient booty. Also fam-
ous for its thermal waters, it has some fine beaches and spectacular scenery.
Most visitors stay on the touristy north coast, but go inland and you'll find a rural land-
scape of chestnut forests, dusty farms and earthy hillside towns.
