Procida in 3 days, Procida in 7 days
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.

Day 2
Tour of the island with e-bikes
