Ischia Porto is the largest town on the island and the usual point of debarkation. It's no workaday port, however, but a lively resort with plenty of hotels, the island's best shopping area, and low, flat-roof houses on terraced hillsides overlooking the water. Its narrow streets often become flights of steps that scale the hill, and its villas and gardens are framed by pines.
