The colourful houses of Corricella and the fishing village, seen from the sea.
- Where we stop
- At anchor off the Corricella, engines off, outside the channel of the fishing harbour.
- When to go
- Early morning or sunset, when the low sun brings out the colours of the houses.
The places around Procida that are best seen from the boat.
Procida’s fishing harbour: each house is painted a different colour, so that fishermen could recognise their own from the sea. On the ground floor, the arches are used to store the boats.
- From the sea
- The curved row of houses can be seen in full only from the water.
The fortified village at the top of the island’s ridge, walled in 1563. The abbey of San Michele Arcangelo overlooks the sea at a height of 91 metres.
- From the sea
- From the sea it is the wall of yellow tuff that closes off the Corricella, with the buildings on its edge.
- Good to know
- The abbey is open to the public.
A crescent-shaped islet joined to Procida by a footbridge built in 1957: it is the rim of an ancient crater, the rest of which lies underwater. It is a state nature reserve, covered in woodland.
- From the sea
- Between the islet and the island lies the bay of Chiaiolella, with its beach and small harbour.
A dark-sand beach enclosed by two low points of tuff, with nothing built behind it. It is the beach from the film Il Postino.
- From the sea
- It is the beach on the island where the sun sets into the sea.
