Forio

Tucked along Ischia’s western coast on the Tyrrhenian Sea, Forio is a town whose character is shaped by the island’s volcanic terrain and exposure to the water. Its old centre gathers around narrow lanes, churches and the waterfront, while the white Church of Santa Maria del Soccorso stands prominently above the shore. The Torrione, a circular defensive tower dating from the 15th century, recalls the need to protect the island from raids. North of town, the gardens of La Mortella were created by Susana Walton at the home she shared with composer William Walton. Citara beach and the slopes rising towards Mount Epomeo extend Forio’s setting beyond the historic streets.
