Small village vibes

Procida is an island near Naples. Depending on the ferry, it takes around 30mins to one hour. There are several ferries each day, but be sure to check the schedule beforehand. I recommend going to Procida as you'll be a world away from the busy city life of Naples. Although Naples is an exciting city with lots to see and do, it's also quite a respite to slow things down and see a more sleepy Italian village. Procida is exactly that. You will most likely arrive on the northern side of the island. There seems to be the main town there. It's a lovely collection of color houses along the main promenade. There are also small squares with churches and several small beaches. You can rent a motorbike to go further south and explore a bit of the other side of the island. There seems to be other beaches which are more memorable further inland. Along the main strip, there are also several restaurants. It's a good short outing from Naples. Head here for a quieter side of life. Keep in mind things are really quiet in winter (possibly low season) so it's perhaps much more lively in the summer months. The views from the ferry ride are also lovely; this is especially true when arriving back into Naples!
