As Procida is an island situated in the Bay of Naples, it technically only costs you the price of the boat ride to get there (although you should also factor in activities, as well as drinking and dining while on the island). Most people visit on a guided tour, which often includes stops at other islands, such as Ischia. Expect to pay upwards of US$200 for full-day excursions.

Yes, Procida is a beautiful place to visit while in Naples, and most people combine it with stops at Ischia and Capri, easily the most famous of the Bay of Naples islands. One of the best ways to visit is as part of an organized boat tour that provides transportation to and from either Naples or Sorrento, and includes all the snacks and equipment you might need to enjoy a full day out on the water.

Per one customer who booked the Exclusive Ischia and Procida Luxury Private Boat Cruise, "Marco and Pepe were a fantastic crew. They made everything easy and fun. The luxury of viewing this part of the world from a private (large) boat cannot be overstated. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for our whole family. Ischia and Procida are not crowded like Capri and [they are] even more beautiful"

Procida is a tiny Mediterranean island off the coast of Naples in southern Italy, less than two square miles (3.2 kilometers) in size and home to around 10,000 people. Far less famous than its neighbors—Ischia and Capri—the island is renowned for its medieval citadel, candy-colored buildings, and stunning Tyrrhenian Sea views.

That depends. Capri is known for its jet-setter crowd and panoramic villas—a popular day trip destination. Bigger, more down-to-earth Ischia is famed for its thermal baths and natural hot springs. It is lively and boasts a well-developed tourist infrastructure, including nightlife. Procida, the smallest and sleepiest, has a more local feel.

No. Procida is only reachable from the water. Travelers can opt for a hydrofoil ferry from Naples (around 40 minutes) or Ischia (the fastest option takes 15 minutes.) Another option is to join a guided tour. Many tour providers offer excursions by yacht or speedboat, typically departing from Sorrento or Naples.

There are sand and pebble volcanic beaches, first-class seafood and aperitivo joints, winding streets, and picturesque churches and harbors. Don’t miss the climb to Terra Murata, a walled hilltop village. Soaring above the marina, it is home to Palazzo D’Avalos, a palace and prison turned museum and gallery.

Yes, Procida is a pedestrian’s paradise. It only takes around 40 minutes to walk around the island, making cars unnecessary (although taxis and buses exist if you have luggage in tow.) Rambling around on foot is one of the island’s great pleasures. Travelers can also opt to rent a bike, including e-bikes.

Procida is considered the most affordable of the islands in the Bay of Naples, although that doesn’t make it cheap. Capri is hands-down the priciest, while Ischia is big and varied enough to accommodate a range of budgets. Try visiting Procida in the off-season or at least June or September.

There are tons of things to do when you're done visiting Procida. According to travelers, these are some of the top attractions in and around Naples:
