đż Procida at the pace of fitwalking: My active holiday between nature and culture
Procida is the ideal destination for those like me who love dynamic holidays, immersed in nature and dedicated to well-being in every sense. The island's small size and easily walkable distances make it perfect to explore on footâor better yet, at a Fitwalking pace!
About me: a âwalkerâ with a suitcase always ready
My name is Cristiana Mandara. Iâm a curious âwalkerâ with a passion for travel and art. As a certified Fitwalking instructor (yes, thatâs âsport walkingâ for the uninitiated), I not only teach people the right technique to walk âwell,â but I also love organizing day trips and weekend getaways for friends and groupsâexperiences where we discover the destination step by step, breathing in the landscape and savoring every detail.

đ§ The memory that sparked the desire I had been wanting to return to Procida for years. I visited as a child during a holiday in Ischia, and the memory was vivid: a black-sand beach and a mini-bus squeezing through the narrow streets of the town. When Procida was named Italian Capital of Culture in 2022, that desire turned into a real plan. So, in March, I suggested to my fellow âwalkersâ that we spend a long spring weekend on the island, ready to explore it with our legs leading the way.
The choice of accommodation: Procida Camp Resort â La Caravella
For an active group vacation, I was looking for a place that offered:
After some research, I found Procida Camp Resort â La Caravella: a glamping site surrounded by greenery, perfect for our group of 20 not-so-young walkers! Everyone was instantly excited about the idea: a new experience in a âgreenâ setting that offered both privacy and independence, but also social opportunities and comfort.
The accommodations were spot on:
Everything was just a few steps away: pool, food area, and a wooden deck where we held our morning warm-up sessions. Even the laziest among us were won over!
đ Our Typical Day Each day followed an active yet relaxed rhythm:
Every evening we came back tired, yes - but with full hearts! Full of beauty, movement, and shared moments. Procida gave us intense, unforgettable days.
Walking Procida from north to south: recommended routes
If thereâs one truly authentic way to discover Procida, itâs on foot. Walking the island means letting yourself be guided by the colors of the houses, the scent of citrus trees, and the sound of the sea that follows every step.
In this section, Iâve gathered the lesser-known routes that touched me the most, and which allowed us to explore the island from north to south.
They are perfect in spring or autumn, when the islandâs colors and scents are at their most vibrant and captivating, and the mild temperatures make any walking distance enjoyable.
These are trails I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who wants to discover the islandâs most authentic soul:
Itinerary 1 â Former Lighthouse of Punta Pioppeto
Itinerary 3 - The hidden gardens of Procida
Happy walking!
