Chilling-out is an art-form at Paradise Beach Backpackers Hostel.
The first authentic island beach backpackers in the magnificent Gulf of Naples, we're perched on the 'the most beautiful thermal island in the world', overlooking Capri, Mt Vesuvius, and the Sorrento Peninsular. The first real experience you'll find in your Italian travels - real friends, real activities, real views, real reviews, real atmosphere, real fun!
All our rooms look out over the sea towards distant islands in west, with the summer sun shining on us for 16 hours a day! When you arrive you'll get spotless linen, a secure place for your possessions, an energy-packed breakfast, a cosy bed, clean bathrooms, sassy social socialising spots, help with your bookings and travel plans. This island's just amazing, but our reputation is built on our attention to you and your holiday and the cool time you're gonna have.
Sit by the pool and listen to the music, meet friends, go down to the beach, and try the delicious island foods and wines. Ischia has miles of coast and has been doing tourism for 8,000 years. The Romans sunbathed here; the Spanish bathed, the Greeks and French did Greek and French things. You will do what they did. And, we have free wifi, as well.
Sip bubbly in hot springs, bbq on the beach, and enjoy the best bruschetta and wine in Italy at the top of the island, at a hidden, cheap, local restaurant.
We're 40 minutes by boat from Naples, and you can get to us easily (and cheaply) from Sorrento, Amalfi, Capri, Pozzulli, Procida and Rome.
And then, sitting with friends, a cocktail and a bbq, watching the sun dip into the Mediterranean, you'll appreciate this irony... at Paradise Beach Backpackers, the sun never truly sets!
So, what are you waiting for??? Book your sunset here today!
• TO NAPLES (NAPOLI) – trains leave from Rome every half hour and, depending on how much you spend, it takes between 1 and 4 hours. For about 20 € there's an easy 2-hour train, and the ones for roughly 10 € leave 4 times daily.
• By plane, you can fly directly to Naples from just about anywhere in the world. And it's much cooler than Rome.
• FROM THE MAINLAND – catch a boat across the spectacular Gulf from Naples, Pozzulli, Sorrrento, Procida, Salerno, Positano, Amalfi or Capri and sail to Forio (which is then only 10 minutes by bus from our door), or to Casamicciola (about 20 minutes) or Ischia Porto (30 minutes). From Sorrento and Capri, the fast boats (aliscafi) leave from the Marina Piccola and, like the ones from Salerno, Amalfi and Positano, they operate from mid-Spring to mid-Autumn.
• FROM NAPOLI CENTRALE RAILWAY STATION – cross the big piazza out the front, passing the eternal Metro construction site, and catch Tram '1' going left (when looking away from the station) to the last stop. On the port side is Molo Beverello where the fast boats (aliscafi) depart for Forio.
• TO THE CHEAPER BOATS – from Beverello to Casamicciola or Ischia Porto, go behind the cafes, away from the fast boat terminal, and catch the free, blue shuttle bus to Calata Porto Di Massa (about 5 minutes away)...
• On the island…
• BUSES FROM ALL PORTS – catch the buses numbered 'CS' or '1', going left (when you are facing the sea). The bus stops are outside the port area on the same side of the street as the port, except at Ischia Porto. At Ischia Porto you must walk around the port to the main bus stop (la capolinea).
• It’s easy to find us. After you leave Forio – all the buses go via Forio –
• 1 LOOK for the big sign saying “SORRISO” on the right of the bus (5-10 minutes out of Forio. When you see it, wait until you...
• 2 GO AROUND THE CORNER, then press the bell…
• 3 GET OFF at the next stop and look behind the bus. You’ll see our sign saying “BACKPACKERS”. Walk down our path there.
