Is it safe to swim in the bay of Naples, Italy?

Question

We're going to Ischia for a week in July. I'd love to be able to swim in the sea, but I'm worried that it won't be safe because of all the news stories about rubbish problems in Naples.

Answer 1

I wouldn't do that if I were you....

It is polluted

Answer 2

no matter! you can swim but in the right areas..there are many beach where you could have a bath... be careful!it isn't dangerous...(sorry for the English..I'm Italian..)

Answer 3

parts of it are quite polluted and you should heed warning signs. If an area is posted “vietato” it is probably not safe to swim or fish there. Air pollution can also be a problem in hot, dry seasons in Naples proper, so anyone who suffers from respiratory conditions should bring along suitable medication. The tap water is usually safe to drink but, in general, bottled water will taste better.

Answer 4

Yes!!!!!

Answer 5

Answer 8

Answer 9

Ischia (especially the area of Sant Angelo) is beautiful. The water is warm, the beaches are very clean. Remind you, Ischia is a "volcano island" and therefore, the sand is not white but you will love the "warm natural bathes" there ! Have fun !!
