Tour Description
This full day e-bike tour will let you discover the unique beauty of the island of Procida, the least famous and touristic island of the Gulf of Naples.
It is a volcanic island that stands out for its typical Mediterranean beauty: its natural landscapes, beaches with crystal clear water and the pastel-colored houses of the fishermen villages will enchant you. The island began to become famous towards the end of the 1950s thanks to the book “Arturo's Island” written by Elsa Morante and cinematographic masterpieces such as The Postman with Massimo Troisi. Having been out of touristic itineraries for long time, Procida has kept his authenticity avoiding to be contaminated by mass tourism.
During the tour we will visit the most iconic locations in Procida such as Palazzo d’Avalos and ancient prison of Terra Murata, the Abbey of St Michael, Marina di Corricella and more.
