Customizable Itinerary
Day 1
Procida – Arrive on the Secluded Island of Procida in the Bay of Naples
The pleasures of Procida are at your fingertips as your flight lands at Naples International Airport. Your private transfer will escort you and your partner to the Naples Harbor to board the ferry to the bay’s smallest inhabited island. Naples’s harbor embodies the history of the city, and the boisterous culture in the sweeping promenade offers views to the boats that wade in the azure water. The scent of espresso drifts from the outdoor tables as umbrellas shade the patrons from the Mediterranean sunlight. The harbor has been a gateway to the Western World for more than two millennia as the sea splashes against the breakwaters.
The peak of Mount Vesuvius looms on the horizon across the bay. You will board your ferry to cross the calm azure waters to reach the marina at the Porto. Local boys cast fishing lines into the water from the shore as fishermen linger on the promenade to swap stories about their days along the water. Lemon groves flourish around the island, and pastel painted homes add to the picturesque ambiance of the island life. Your private transfer will meet you at the marina and bring you along the narrow road past Santa Maria della Pieta church. The town of Porto rises up the terraced hill to offer romantic views of the coast and water.
