Procida
Marina Grande
The commercial port of the island: it is the first thing you admire once you disembark. Here you can admire the typical houses of Procida: a little decadent and joyfully colored. The Palazzo Montefusco, former summer residence of the king, stands out among all the buildings. The port of Marina Grande and the narrow streets behind it are the ideal place to do some shopping in the shops and shops of local artisans. Here is also the place to look for the typical restaurants of the island.
WALLED EARTH
The symbol of Procida: the fortified village of Terra Murata stands out on the island and overlooks the sea. Those looking for a breathtaking view of the island and the other islands of the Gulf of Naples, this is the first place to visit. However, the view is not the only attraction: the Palazzo d'Avalos and the Abbey of San Michele. The visit can continue with the tour of the undergrounds of the village.
La Corricella
The most picturesque and charming spot on the island of Procida is Marina Corricella. This is a thin sliver of waterfront backed by a cliff made of fishermen's houses - at least, that's the colourful impression. Behind a long fishing harbour, houses were built on and into the rock in a kind of pretty vertical muddle. There are several bars and restaurants in Corricella, with tables attractively scattered along the waterfront, interspersed with painted fishing-boats and harbour cats hiding among piled nets. Despite the obvious tourist appeal of the settlement, it still has an 'authentic' feel, like so much of Procida. This is a wonderful spot for a lazy lunch or a romantic evening meal with the water lapping nearby. Unfortunately it is a bit of a walk from the nearest bus routes, and you have to climb up the lanes or steps to leave the settlement, but it is well worth the effort. If you've just visited the Terra Murata, you can take a flight of steps down to Corricella from the road leading up to the headland.
