Procida  Review

Procida Review is a guide to the beautiful island of Procida in southern Italy. In the guide I've provided the best advice on travelling to Procida as well as ideas on what to do once you're here on the island.

Procida lies just off the coast of Naples in Italy's southern region of Campania. Typical journey times from Naples are 40 minutes by hydrofoil or an hour by ferry. There's also the option of crossing from the nearby port of Pozzuoli where journey times are shorter: 20 minutes by hydrofoil and 35 minutes by ferry.

Once you get to Procida you can see the majority of sights on foot, starting at the main port on the island: Marina Grande. The port has some charming buildings, a pretty church and lots of places where you can eat and drink.

From Marina Grande it's just a short walk across to the other side of the island where you can see the main area of interest: Marina Corricella. The iconic marina adorns covers of guide books and is one of the prettiest sights in Italy. The multi-coloured houses of the tiny fishing village contrast beautifully with the sea behind them.
Many people come to Procida as it was the main area of filming for the movie Il Postino with Marina Corriccella featuring frequently in some of the most important scenes. To get the best view of the Marina you can take a walk up to the walled citadel of Terra Murata and it is from here that the full beauty of the place can be captured. 

You can find further advice on things to see in Procida throughout the site, along with travel advice and a section on accommodation. As you make your way around Procida Review I hope you find it to be a useful companion for planning your trip to the island and above all, that you're able to create long-lasting memories of your trip here.

Procida  In - Focus

Marina Corricella is most certainly the most popular visitor attraction on the island of Procida. This small marina is full of intrigue from its brightly coloured houses that sit one on top of the other, to its charming array of bars and restaurants that look out to sea. Most visitors to Procida arrive on the other side of the island at Marina Grande.

​From there it's a 5/10 minute walk through the back streets of the harbour where you'll pass some fascinating old shops and houses along the way.

To reach La Corricella (as locals call it), locate the beautiful church that sits on one side of the main square in Marina Grande, Santa Maria della Pietà/Chiesa dei Marinai. If you're facing the church, take the narrow road to the left that leads away from the harbour. ​
