The smallest and least developed island in the Bay of Naples charms visitors with pastel fishing houses stacked above a tiny harbor, without the crowds of nearby Capri.
Why Visit Procida
Procida has kept much of its working fishing village character, with colorful, tightly packed houses climbing above the Marina Corricella harbor. Its small size and relative lack of development make it a quieter alternative to Capri or Ischia in the Bay of Naples.
Top Experiences
- Marina Corricella: A car-free fishing harbor lined with pastel houses and simple seafood restaurants.
- Terra Murata: The island’s highest point, with a former abbey and prison and sweeping views over the bay.
- Marina Grande: The main port town, with colorful facades along the waterfront.
- Chiaiolella Beach: A sandy beach near the small Vivara nature reserve at the island’s western tip.
