  • Morning

    The tour begins on the island of Procida. To get there, take either the first hydrofoil from Naples-Beverello or Naples-Mergellina or the first ferry from Pozzuoli, all of which take about 35 minutes. You will arrive at Marina Grande, greeted by the sight of fishing boats and the colourful houses lining the port. Take a quick hike to the island’s highest point, the Terra Murata (“walled town”).

    Back down on the marina, enjoy some refreshment at Bar Capriccio (Via Roma 99) while waiting for your hydrofoil to Ischia.

    On Ischia you will arrive at Casamicciola, the island’s second port, where you can have lunch at the wonderfully rustic Il Focolare (Via Cretaio 68).

    Afternoon

    After lunch embark on a tour around the island in a glass-bottom boat (departs 2:30pm), stopping at the town of Sant’Angelo for an hour. Here you can take in the views, lounge by the dockside or walk along the cliff above Maronti Beach.

    At the end of your tour, you can opt to stay over in one of the hotels in Casamicciola, or take a hydro-foil back to the mainland. If you spend the night, the next morning take the only hydrofoil of the day to Capri departing at 10:40am. After riding the funicular up to Capri Town, follow the signs up to the ruins of Villa Tiberius for the breathtaking view.
