Location and accommodation

Procida - Naples - La Corricella



The Bay of Naples’ smallest island is also its best-kept secret. Dig out your paintbox; this soulful blend of hidden lemon groves, weathered fishermen and pastel-hued houses is memorably picturesque. Mercifully off the mass-tourist radar, Procida is like the original Portofino prototype and is refreshingly real. August aside – when beach-bound mainlanders flock to its shores – its narrow sun-bleached streets are the domain of the locals: wiry young boys clutch fishing rods, weary mothers push prams and wizened old seamen swap tales of malaise. Here, the hotels are smaller, fewer waiters speak broken German and the island’s welcome is untainted by too much tourism.

At Marina Grande, tumbledown buildings in hues of pinks, whites and yellow crowd the waterfront as an evocative first introduction to the island. Fishermen mend their nets under laundry hung out to dry, while waiters serve the catch of the day in well-worn restaurants.

Even in the height of summer, Procida doesn’t attract the number of tourists welcomed by its more famous neighbours. This is a small island, ideal for those seeking to escape the crowds.
