The typical village of Forio

Forio, known erroneously as Forio d’Ischia, with its 13 km of territory, is the largest municipality of the island.

Very picturesque is the town centre with its palaces, paths, locals, little artisan shops, churches rich in history and art. Very famous is the church of Soccorso, situated in the splendid square of Giovanni Paolo II, overlooking the sea. This square is one of the few places in the world where it is possible to admire the spectacular of the green ray : It is an optical illusion during the sunset but also when the sun rises, in base on the light’s position.
