About this experience
What to expect
Your day often begins with a scenic ferry or hydrofoil journey from Naples, offering beautiful views of the Gulf as you head towards Procida. Upon arrival, visitors are usually greeted by the island's distinctive charm, characterized by its iconic pastel-colored houses stacked along the waterfront. The island offers a more tranquil atmosphere compared to some of its larger neighbors.
Most tours allow ample time to explore Procida's main areas, including the charming Marina Grande, where you'll find local fishing boats and cafes. A highlight for many is often a visit to Terra Murata, the island's highest and oldest point, which offers panoramic views and a glimpse into its historical defenses. The narrow streets and hidden corners invite leisurely discovery.
You can expect to wander through picturesque fishing villages like Corricella, known for its vibrant colors and serene harbor, making it a popular spot for photography. There is usually time to enjoy a local meal, perhaps fresh seafood, or simply relax by the sea. The return journey to Naples concludes a day of authentic island exploration and relaxation.
