Procida, a small island and its unspoiled natural beauty, is the perfect destination for the summer holidays. Not very far from Procida, you will find Ischia, the so called “green island” and its suggestive coastline.
Procida is the smallest of the Phlegrean Islands, the nearest to Naples, the least contaminated by uncontrolled and luxurious tourism . With its almost intact natural beauty, the island of Procida proves to be the ideal place for seaside holidays. The wide beaches, the numerous bays and caves, are scattered along the coast of Procida making it an enchanting place. Even today, it preserves the charm of “a fishing village”. A little more than a mile away from the island of Procida, lies Ischia, the green island, the thermal resort for excellence, almost as big as a city but quiet as only an island can be. It is a favorite destination for those who want to combine a holiday of sea and land. With its 18 miles of beaches, bays and inlets that form the backdrop and the beautiful landscapes in their ancestral “wildness”, it is defined as the Garden of Europe. Ischia is most famous for the thermal resources ,unique in the world . The small harbour of Ischia, Sant’Angelo is very characteristic. You must visit Ischia.
- Pick-up from your hotel or from a close meeting point and transfer to the port of Piano di Sorrento.
- During the boat ride from Sorrento along the Gulf of Naples, you will see in the distance the small island of Nisida, the Phlegraean Fields, up to Capo Miseno, the extreme point of the Phlegrean peninsula.
- Upon the arrival in Ischia, we will start the tour from the Maronti beach, the longest one of the island (almost 3 km); then we will stop at the Green Cave, an incredible natural cave carved into the rock, inside which the light, reflecting into the water, creates a play of colors and shades of green. Right here we will stop to swim and snorkel, before heading to the Aragonese Castle, the symbol of the island in the world: a majestic fortress that stands on a huge rock, connected to the East side of the island by a bridge of 220 meters.
- We will, then, stop at the port of Ischia for 3 or 4 hours of free time, in which you can explore the island on your own, maybe on board one of the iconic microtaxis (three-wheeled Apecar), a fun and unique way of touring Ischia and discover the main points of interest.
- The tour continues towards Procida. While sailing around the island, we will stop to admire: the islet of Vivara; Terra Murata with the former prison of Palazzo d’Avalos; Marina di Corricella, a wonderful village famous worldwide for its multicolored houses; the bay of Chiaiozza and much more.
