A Day Trip to Procida from Naples: Ferry Times, the Walk, and Where to Eat
Marina Grande to Terra Murata to Corricella to Chiaiolella — three hours, three beaches, one fortress.
The loop
Off the Caremar ferry, walk up the Salita Castello to Terra Murata — the medieval fortified town with the abbey of San Michele and a view back to Vesuvio. Twenty minutes uphill.
Drop down to Marina Corricella — the pastel harbour from The Talented Mr Ripley — for an espresso. Then cross the island via the dirt road past Vivara nature reserve to the wide sandy Chiaiolella beach. Bus 1 takes you back to Marina Grande.
