Procida

Procida, a charming island in the Bay of Naples, offers a delightful escape for those seeking authentic Italian experiences. This volcanic island, along with its tiny neighbor Vivara, boasts a rich history dating back to ancient times.

History buffs can wander Terra Murata, a fortified medieval village perched atop the island, offering stunning views and historical charm. Don't miss the iconic Corricella Marina, a picturesque fishing village with colorful houses cascading down to the sea, as seen in many photographs. Admire the unique courtyard houses in Casale Vascello. Relax on Procida's beaches and soak up the Mediterranean sun. For a touch of movie magic, visit locations where the beloved Italian film "Il Postino" (The Postman) was filmed. While nightlife is low-key, Procida offers cozy cafes and local eateries where you can savor the traditional Zingara pastry.
