Procida​

The island of Procida is the lesser know of the three islands situated in the Gulf of Naples. Often overlooked or at least overshadowed by its more illustrious neighbours Ischia and the further distant Capri, this is a sleepy island where peace reigns. 

​That's not to say that Procida is without its own attractions however; it has one of the prettiest sights of anywhere in Italy, the small port of Marina Corricella with its rows of multi-coloured houses adorns the covers of travel guides, postcards and magazines. 
This, the island's showpiece makes the journey across from the mainland worthwhile in itself but there's much more besides. You can reach Procida from Naples, Pozzuoli or Ischia by ferry or hydrofoil. Journey times from the mainland are between 35 and 50 minutes while from Ischia it's 20 minutes on the hydrofoil or 30 minutes by ferry.

YOUR COMPLETE GUIDE TO ITALY

Italy Review is an independent guide to Italy, showcasing the very best that the country has to offer. Throughout the three thousand pages of the website you'll find comprehensive tourist information, opinion and original photos.

​Alongside the major tourist destinations that you've already heard of, there are thousands of others that may come as a surprise with the intention of the website to provide inspiration for your future trips to the country. 

The photos and descriptions on the website are all my own work and are the fruit of my extensive travels around the country. I've visited every place that's listed on the website which means I'm able to give useful advice for first-time visitors. 

​You can keep in touch with the latest developments in Italy, particularly important at the moment at the time of the pandemic, via my Italy Review Blog for which you'll find links below to the Facebook and Twitter pages.
