Ischia - Ischia Island - Flegrean Islands Shopping, Italy

Shopping in Ischia can be classed into two categories: local products and luxury accessories. The latter is not much different from other towns: in fact, the island has several famous name boutiques filled with Italian fashion, mostly concentrated in the trendy streets of Ischia Porto: Via Roma and Corso Vittorio Colonna.

Those interested in handcrafted objects can buy baskets, lampshades, hats and other items made from plaited straw following an antique island tradition that has been passed down the female generations. The use of terracotta is also an antique island tradition: there are still craft shops today that sell handmade items such as vases, cups and other ornaments.

Food and wines to purchase can instead be found in the several food and wine shops where you can try the island’s traditional tastes and buy souvenirs to take home, such as the delicious citrus fruit or millefiori honey or a few bottles of white Ischia wine such as Forastera and Biancolella.
