Program of the tour:
Meet the crew at 11:45 AM at Ischia Port, outside the restaurant L’Altra Mezzanotte. Board a comfortable gozzo sorrentino and prepare to embark on your adventure.
Depart for Procida, where you’ll enjoy a boat tour around the island. Along the way, admire the stunning islet of Vivara, a crescent-shaped uninhabited island connected to Procida by a long bridge that can only be crossed on foot. Untouched and wild, with crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine flora, Vivara has been a protected State Nature Reserve since 2002.
Next, visit Pozzo Vecchio Beach, famous as the backdrop for Massimo Troisi’s final film, Il Postino. Tucked away in a natural bay with dark volcanic sand and crystal-clear waters, this is the perfect spot for a refreshing swim.
The journey continues to Terra Murata, the island’s oldest and most fortified settlement, perched high above the sea. From the water, enjoy a unique view of the Palazzo d’Avalos, a former prison, and the historic Abbey of San Michele. Just beyond Punta Monaci, you’ll reach the iconic Marina di Corricella, with its enchanting maze of staircases and colorful houses. This picturesque bay is ideal for swimming or relaxing in the sun.
The next stop is the hidden gem of Chiaiozza Bay, a natural pool carved into the rock and tucked away near the Marina of Chiaiolella.
Throughout the tour, you’ll enjoy stops to swim and snorkel, with complimentary snacks and cold drinks provided on board. Afterward, spend 1–2 hours of free time at Procida’s port, where you can explore the island on your own and soak up its charm.
