Ferry from Procida to Capri

Procida Guide

Located in the Flegrian group of islands is the Italian island of Procida. It lies just of the coast of Naples, between Cape Miseno and the island of Ischia. It is a small island with a land area of just 4 sq. km and a rocky coastline measuring 16 km. Terra Murata hill is the island's highest point and measures just 91 meters above sea level. In terms of visitor attractions, the island does not have much to see and what it does have seem to have been neglected. Therefore, visitors to the island should indulge in its relaxing, shabby-chic, atmosphere rather than to go searching of ancient monuments. Marina Corricella is perhaps the prettiest spot on the island and is a thin sliver of waterfront backed by a cliff of fisherman's houses. Behind a long fishing harbour, houses were built on and into the rock in a kind of pretty vertical muddle. There are several bars and restaurants in Corricella, with tables attractively scattered along the waterfront.

Ferries to Ischia generally stop at Procida. There are both fast and slow services, and some run from a different port in Naples, called Mergellina, which is handy for the Italian railway network. Procida is also served by ferries from a nearby town on the mainland called Pozzuoli.

Capri Guide

The Italian island of Capri is located in the Bay of Naples, south of the city of Naples and close to the tip of the Amalfi Peninsular, in the Campania region of Southern Italy. The island is a popular destination in its own right but is also popular for short breaks with people visiting Naples or the Amalfi Coast. The island, which is made of limestone rock, is very picturesque and has long been a favourite with Roman Emperors, artists, writers and the rich and famous. Today, Capri is still one of the most popular destinations in the Mediterranean. Popular attraction on the island include the Marina Piccola, the Belvedere of Tragara, the limestone crags called sea stacks that project above the sea, the town of Anacapri the Blue Grotto and the ruins of the Imperial Roman villas.

There are frequent ferry connections from the island to the city of Naples and to Sorrento on the Amalfi Coast. There are also less frequent ferries to Positano on the Amalfi Coast and the island of Ischia.
