Spiaggia dei Maronti — Attraction in undefined

Was there August 2018… full of people, loud & stony beach… got there by bus… on a crazy street … it’s a narrow, but long beach, which could be pretty if noone would be there… Needless to say …in the summer, it’s overcrowded, but at least there are Italians in Italy, lol.

It was unfortunately a bit cloudy when we took the pictures, but it was still very enjoyable. It also luckily became sunny for the rest of the day after...

Truman Capote, Tennessee Williams, Pablo Neruda, and W. H. Auden are just some of the authors who spent an important time of their lives in Ischia, enjoying its natural beauty and charm, and celebrating it in...
