Procida Excursion from Ischia
- Martedì e Giovedì
The itinerary
Of the three islands in the Gulf of Naples, Procida is the one that has best resisted mass-tourism transformation: no big hotels, no coach traffic, just pastel-coloured houses — pink, ochre-yellow, blue — overlooking crystal-clear water and a pace of life that still recalls a fishing village. This excursion offers the simplest way to discover it: a return boat crossing from Ischia, with the whole day to spend in complete freedom.Once ashore, most visitors head for Corricella, the island's most photographed fishing village: multi-storey houses painted in different shades face directly onto a small harbour where fishing boats stay moored right beside the restaurant tables. It's the spot that made Procida famous on screen — scenes from the film Il Postino were shot here — and today it remains one of the most Instagrammed corners of the entire Gulf of Naples.
Those with time can continue to Marina di Chiaiolella, on the other side of the island, where sailing boats replace fishing vessels and the atmosphere turns more upmarket, or climb up to Terra Murata, Procida's highest point, home to the ancient Abbey of San Michele Arcangelo, with a view sweeping across the whole gulf. The island's small size — it can be crossed on foot in a couple of hours — makes it perfect for unguided exploration, with no risk of getting lost or running out of time before the return crossing.
Departures are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays, a detail worth factoring in alongside the other sea excursions when planning your stay. Compared with the guided version, this more affordable format is designed for those who prefer exploring independently, perhaps stopping for lunch at one of Corricella's seafood restaurants or simply strolling without a fixed itinerary.
It's the right excursion for anyone looking for a quieter, less touristy alternative to Capri, for photography lovers drawn to the colours of the fishing villages, and for anyone who wants to discover why Procida, despite its small size, was named Italian Capital of Culture in 2022.
