Procida (view full size)

Procida is a small island off the coast of Naples. I visited on a day trip from the neighbouring island of Ischia.

 

The island of Procida can be reached by car ferry and hydrofoil from the ports of Naples, Pozzuoli and the island of Ischia.

 

There are three ports with the biggest and most important of these being Marina Grande, also called Sancio Cattolico, Facades of different shades of yellow, pink and blue stretch throughout the port.

 

Over the Marina Grande is the castle where a jail was held until the second half of the 80’s.

 

It is said that fishermen painted their houses in different colors so that they could recognize them from the sea.
