Procida is only 2.4 square miles in area, and yet it is the most densely populated of the islands lying offshore of Naples. Long a favored fishing port, the tradition of fishing that began with the Greeks and Romans lives on in the seaside village of Corricella, where you can walk along the waterfront and admire the utilitarian beauty all around you as the fishermen mend nets on the wharves and a balmy breeze ushers in the tang of the fabled Tyrrhenian Sea. Of particular interest is Terra Murata (meaning walled up land). It was the first settlement on Procida built at the highest point on the island at 298 feet above sea level to provide the best defense against Saracen raiders. A stroll to the settlement will reward you with marvelous views of the surrounding waters. Several of the popular beaches include Chiaia, Chiaiolella, and Pozzo Vecchio.

Ischia

For centuries Ischia has been known as the Green Island for its lush Mediterranean vegetation and thick pine forests. Another name used is the Island of Well Being for its rejuvenating hot springs and thermal baths said to have the power to heal the sick. It was an important port through the ages, a trading centre first for the Greeks, who anchored in the bays nearly 3,000 years ago, then for the Romans, and many others. Ischia is still important as the largest of the Phlegraean Islands (Procida and uninhabited Vivara are the other two) and as an exclusive tourist destination with six villages and towns. Ischia is a delight for the senses.
