Thinking whether 1 day is enough to see Procida, or if you should stay longer? To help you choose the perfect holiday, we thought of a long weekend or week holiday in Procida to help you enjoy all the options.
Day 1
Arriving in Procida
We greet you at the pier in our vintage cars and take you to Camp Ciraccio or Camp La Caravella, where a refreshing lemonade is waiting for you.
Afternoon
Beach tour at Chiaiolella
Start discovering Procida with its beaches: Chiaiolella beach is a beautiful stretch, and here the sun shines all day until evening. There is no shortage of beach bar where you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas and enjoy views of Ischia and the island of Vivara.
Sunset view aperitif at Solarium Maresia
Beautiful lounge bar with garden overlooking the sea, swimming pool and whirlpool. Here the sunset aperitif is a must.
Our dinner recommendation: restaurant Vivara
Located a short distance from the Chiaiolella marina, Vivara offers seafood specialties with the freshest fish and an exclusive location, just a few meters from the shore.

Day 2
Tour of the island with e-bikes
Rent our e-bikes, because Procida's climbs can be tiring!
Ride your bikes around the historical heart of the island, Terra Murata; visit Palazzo d'Avalos (all info here) and St. Michael's Abbey, an amazing jewel of religious architecture that spans two floors, one of which is entirely dedicated to a very valuable museum complex.
Our tip for a snack: a fritto or a sandwich at Assafà's
The red van has now become a symbol of the island, as have their street food delights, overlooking the picture-postcard panorama of Corricella and the Bay of Naples.

An occasion you absolutely cannot not miss: the tour of Procida by boat or, alternatively, by kayak. Both are experiences that will let you experience the true essence of the island, hunting for unforgettable views and crystal-clear coves that can only be reached by sea.
Almost all tours offer small tastings of typical products and bathroom stops at the most picturesque places.
