10Procida – The Colorful Soul of the Bay of Naples
While nearby Capri and Ischia attract global attention, Procida remains charmingly local and refreshingly unspoiled. This tiny island, crowned Italy’s Capital of Culture in 2022, is famous for its pastel-hued houses cascading down the port of Marina Corricella.
Wander its narrow lanes filled with lemon trees, stop for a seafood lunch by the harbor, or visit the medieval Terra Murata village for sweeping sea views. Procida’s authenticity lies in its simplicity—it’s the kind of island where fishermen still mend nets at dawn and gelato is best enjoyed at sunset without a crowd in sight.
