Capri, Ischia and Procida: an unforgettable journey through southern Italy

There are places that seem to contain a different kind of time, a rhythm that forces the traveler to slow down. In the Gulf of Naples, three islands concentrate that mystery: Capri, Ischia, and Procida. Each has its own character, its own light, and its own way of leaving a mark. On these islands, travel becomes something beyond scenery — a way of being, of observing, of breathing differently.

Procida: intimacy that resists

The smallest of the three is also the most elusive. Procida preserves an almost domestic identity, where tourism doesn’t seem to have completely altered the rhythm of local life.

From afar, the pastel façades of Marina Corricella offer an idyllic vision, but what truly captivates lies within: the sounds of the port at dawn the murmur of boats the smell of bread baking in the old-town bakeries.

The traveler who loses themselves in its narrow alleys discovers an island that doesn’t seek to impress. Houses pile up in apparent disorder, stairways cross at random, and suddenly a terrace opens to a sea view so close it feels within reach.

In the afternoon, the light thickens and tints the façades in a gold that lasts only a few minutes — just long enough to understand that in Procida everything is fleeting, yet intense.

Capri: between myth and stage

Few Mediterranean islands carry such a powerful symbolism as Capri. Here, luxury and nature coexist in a fragile, almost theatrical balance.
