"Often overlooked in favor of Capri and Ischia, Procida charmed me with lemon groves, pastel-hued fishing villages, and a laid-back pace; Marina Grande bustled with shops and restaurants while Corricella's candy-colored houses offered picture-postcard moments." - Nicky Swallow Nicky Swallow Nicky Swallow is a freelance travel writer who has lived in Florence, Italy for the past three decades.

"I found Procida to be a peaceful, technicolor island that feels authentically lived-in, with Marina Corricella’s bobbing boats and seaside cafés, cinematic spots like Spiaggia del Postino, volcanic-dark sands at Cala di Chiaiolella, and crystalline waters at Spiaggia di Ciraccio." - Sarah James, Lucrezia Worthington
"A low-key, pastel-hued island that feels like a well-kept secret outside of July and August, when crowds swell; visitors come for cute, dispersed beaches, pastel-colored towns, and historic sights such as the medieval Abbey of San Michele Arcangelo and the Piazza dei Martiri, the scene of infamous 18th-century hangings and unrest. Accommodation tends toward boutique hotels and alberghi, nightlife is more an evening-stroll-with-a-gelato than a late-club scene, and the overall vibe rewards travelers seeking calm authenticity." - Elizabeth Heath Elizabeth Heath Elizabeth Heath is a writer and editor living on a hill in Umbria, from where she writes about travel in Italy, the rest of Europe, and farther afield.
