Procida Guide

Procida Ferry Port

Procida is one of the Flegrean Islands that lay off the south west coast of Italy. The only ferry route departing the port is to Napoli on the south of the Italian mainland, with crossings ranging from 40 minutes to one hour.

What is there to do in Procida?

Procida is authentic Italy at its unashamed best; sun kissed streets are filled with colourful houses and youthful locals heading out to the shores. The smell of fresh coffee, pizza and seafood populate the air whilst the locals and tourists mix naturally among the charming, narrow pathways. Even in July, the height of summer, Procida isn’t inundated with tourists – the few hotels have spare rooms and it is easy enough to find towel space on the beach. The lack of tourism is equal to the lack of attractions, which possibly explains why the island hasn’t gained as much prominence as neighbouring coastal resorts - yet therein lies the appeal - no-one will be around whilst you admire the stunning vistas of the surrounding landscape. As beautiful as the picturesque hillside and mountainside is to enjoy, even the most enthusiastic nature lover can grow tired of the endless walking trails, greenery and rock formations. For the religious types, a church and cathedral reside in the centre, offering an insight into the architectural history of Procida.

How do you get around Procida?

If you have the time, explore Procida by foot. It is the perfect place to walk around the busier areas, enjoying the weather, welcoming atmosphere and delicious seafood.
