Procida
The smallest inhabited island in the Bay of Naples. The Corricella fishing harbor, ringed by candy-colored houses and a filming location for Il Postino, sees far fewer visitors than Capri.
Procida is the smallest inhabited island in the Bay of Naples. It was named Italian Capital of Culture in 2022. Its best-known spot is the Marina di Corricella fishing harbor, where pink, yellow and blue houses are stacked up the slope above the bay, with fishing boats moored at their doorsteps. The films Il Postino and The Talented Mr. Ripley were shot here. From the old Terra Murata quarter and the Palazzo d’Avalos, you can look out over the whole island. Beaches such as Chiaiolella are good for swimming. The island is small and unhurried, and you can see all of it on foot or by minibus. Fast ferries from Naples’ Beverello port or from Pozzuoli take about 40 minutes, making it an ideal day trip.
