Ischia and Procida, with their blend of natural beauty, history, culture, and gastronomy, are an unmissable opportunity to explore two of the most enchanting gems of the Mediterranean Sea. With Capri 360, every detail is designed to provide an unforgettable experience, where sea and land meet in a perfect balance of emotions and wonders.
From Capri to Ischia
The ideal tour recommended by Capri 360 begins on the blue island of Capri, one of the jewels of the Gulf of Naples. A one-hour cruise brings you to Ischia, the “green queen” of the Mediterranean. Along the way, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of Mount Vesuvius, the winding lines of the Campania coastline, picturesque villages perched on cliffs, and the crystal-clear sea blending with the sky. Upon arriving in Ischia, exploring by boat grants exclusive access to remote, charming coves rarely reachable by land. The Green Grotto is a must-see, a mesmerizing spot where light reflections on the water create a rare natural spectacle. Swimming or snorkeling in the pristine waters of the Bay of Citara or Sant’Angelo offers a refreshing experience, immersing you in the untouched nature of this volcanic island.
A culinary stop
The tour continues with a stop at Ischia Ponte, where history and culture welcome you. Here, you can visit the Aragonese Castle, a commanding medieval structure that tells centuries of history, and the Guevara Tower, a testament to the island’s aristocratic past. Nearby, Casamicciola beckons relaxation enthusiasts with its renowned thermal springs celebrated for their healing and rejuvenating properties. For lunch, Capri 360 handles every detail, reserving a seaside table at exclusive restaurants such as Da Nicola alle Fumarole, Giardino Eden, or Il Guarracino. Enjoy local specialties prepared with the freshest ingredients in a setting that combines high-end cuisine with unforgettable views.
From Ischia to Procida
After a lunch celebrating authentic Campanian flavors, the journey continues to Procida, the smallest island in the Gulf and the Italian Capital of Culture 2022. This hidden gem has preserved an authentic and timeless charm that captivates visitors with its colors, scents, and enchanting vistas. On arrival, the view is spectacular: vibrant houses reflecting on the sea, fishing boats swaying gently in the harbor, and narrow streets winding through picturesque villages. Every corner of Procida tells a story. Terra Murata, with its ancient fortified village and the majestic Palazzo D’Avalos, offers a journey back in time and a breathtaking panoramic view.
Like in Troisi’s film
Not far away, Marina di Corricella is one of the island’s most iconic locations. This fishing village seems frozen in time, inviting you to take a leisurely stroll, enjoy a coffee, or savor a lemon granita at a seaside café. Procida also boasts extraordinary natural beauty, such as Pozzo Vecchio, the beach made famous by Massimo Troisi’s film Il Postino, and the turquoise waters of Ciraccio, Chiaia, and Chiaiolella bays, perfect for a refreshing swim.
Swim with dolphins
During the boat tour, there’s even a chance to spot dolphins playing among the waves, a thrilling experience that adds an extra touch of magic to the day. For those who love exploration, Vivara, a nature reserve connected to Procida by a bridge, offers a unique experience for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers alike.
