Procida is the smallest island of the Gulf of Naples; it is rich in attractions and archaeology. From the ground floor of Napoli Centro train station, you can take the metro to station Pozzuoli then get off and take the ferry at the port of Pozzuoli. The architecture of Procida has a Greek origin. In fact, the history of Procida is concentrated first of all on the medieval village “Terra Murata” and on “Corricella”, the fishing settlement. The island has served as the set for numerous films, such as The “Postman”, and some scenes in “The Talented Mr. Ripley” were shot on Corricella. The landmarks of Procida reflect typical Mediterranean pastel colours. Procida offers simply cooking and at least 10 excellent restaurants with plain cooking based on fresh fish. This simple style never fails, thanks to the 20 local fishing boats. The specialties of the cooking are: stewed rabbit (which goes back to the Borbonen who came on Procida to hunt the wild rabbit) and spaghetti with sea-urchin. Procida has 6 beaches with crystal-clear waters. Spent some relaxing days on this wonderful island. Experience the real Italy, lovely people, great views, great sand and great food.

Procida is an island of sailors and fishermen, Procida simplicity is well summed up by the combination of it's excellent fish, outstanding lemons and pleasant white wine. A working fishing village Corricella with a restaurant dock area. One gorgeous port that looks like time has stood still which only adds to it's charm. Traditional fisherman working hard for little money. In the morning they leave with their private little fishing boats. Each fishermen knows how to throw the giacchio, a special and traditional fishing net. Waiting for fish. At the end of the fishing day they bring the fish home. The local fishermen on the island know all the tricks of the trade and have learned how to use this skill over the years. The fisherman displays his caught fish on the pier. You can immediately buy fresh fish including: Atlantic Herring, Seabream, Pandora, Calamaro, Ombrina and Octopus.

Procida is het kleinste eiland van de Golf van Napels; het is rijk aan attracties en archeologie. Vanaf de begane grond van treinstation Napoli Centro kunt u de metro naar station Pozzuoli nemen, uitstappen en de veerboot nemen in de haven van Pozzuoli. De architectuur van Procida heeft een Griekse oorsprong. In feite is de geschiedenis van Procida allereerst geconcentreerd op het middeleeuwse dorp "Terra Murata" en op "Corricella", de vissersnederzetting. Het eiland heeft gediend als decor voor tal van films, zoals The "Postman", en sommige scènes in "The Talented Mr. Ripley" zijn opgenomen op Corricella. De herkenningspunten van Procida weerspiegelen typische mediterrane pastelkleuren. Procida biedt eenvoudig koken en minstens 10 uitstekende restaurants met eenvoudig koken op basis van verse vis. Deze eenvoudige stijl faalt nooit dankzij de 20 lokale vissersboten. De traditionele visser werkt hier hard voor weinig geld. 's Morgens vertrekken ze met hun eigen vissersbootjes. Elke visser weet hoe hij de giacchio moet gooien, een speciaal en traditioneel visnet. Wachten op vis. Aan het einde van de visdag brengen ze de vis naar terug van huis. De lokale vissers op het eiland kennen alle kneepjes van het vak en hebben door de jaren heen geleerd hoe ze deze vaardigheid moeten gebruiken. De visserman stalt zijn gevangen vis uit op de pier. Je kan gelijk zijn verse vissen kopen waaronder: haring, kustbaardman,
zeebrasem, pijlinktvis, ombervis en inktvis.
