Easter is one of the most enchanting times to visit Ischia: the island awakens in a burst of vibrant colors, the air is filled with the scent of spring, and age-old traditions blend spirituality, culture, and pleasure.
At Hotel La Scogliera, located directly on the seafront, we invite you to experience an authentic Easter getaway—complete with folkloric events, thermal wellness, and the unique flavors of our land.
One of the most moving Easter traditions on the island is the Via Crucis (Way of the Cross): a solemn reenactment in traditional costume that winds through the historic streets of Forio at dusk, creating a powerful and emotional atmosphere.
On Easter Sunday, the spotlight shifts to one of Ischia’s most iconic events: the Angel’s Run (Corsa dell’Angelo). Held in Forio, this sacred reenactment brings the community together to celebrate the dramatic and touching encounter between the Virgin Mary and the Risen Christ. It’s an unforgettable experience—where faith and beauty meet in a truly unique setting.
Both events take place in the center of Forio, just a short walk from Hotel La Scogliera.
Easter is the perfect season to enjoy the peaceful seaside charm of Ischia. The beaches begin to come alive again, the weather is mild and revitalizing—ideal for seaside strolls or the first sunbaths of the year.
But Ischia is also a land of thermal wellness: its mineral-rich waters offer natural treatments for both body and mind. During your stay at Hotel La Scogliera, you can unwind in our spa or explore one of the island’s famous thermal parks—such as Negombo or Poseidon—which reopen with the arrival of spring.
Easter in Ischia is also a celebration of local cuisine. In the island’s restaurants and traditional trattorias, you’ll discover beloved dishes such as:
• Coniglio all’Ischitana – a local specialty and symbol of the island’s culinary heritage;
• Pastiera Napoletana – the iconic Neapolitan Easter dessert, gracing every festive table.
At our restaurant, we serve a special Easter menu filled with authentic flavors, crafted from fresh, local ingredients—best enjoyed with a stunning view of the sea.
