Casamicciola Terme spreads across the northern side of the island of Ischia, from the sea up to the slopes of Monte Epomeo. Historical sources distinguished between a lower Casamicciola, with the Marina, Piazza Bagni and Perrone, and an upper Casamicciola made up of hillside hamlets such as Maio. To help you find your way, we have grouped the town into four areas, each with its own springs, places of memory and walking routes.

For the town’s most important landmarks, see also the key places: Piazza Bagni, Piazza Maio and Piazza Marina.
