Procida is the smallest island of the Gulf of Naples; it is rich in attractions and archaeology. As well, the small island of Vivara, linked to Procida by a bridge, has archaeological excavations.
The architecture of Procida has a Greek origin. In fact, the history of Procida is concentrated first of all on the medieval village _gTerra Murata_h and on _gCorricella_h, the fisher settlement.
The island has served as the set for numerous films, such as The _gPostman_h by Massimo Troisi and some scenes in _gThe Talented Mr. Ripley_h were shot just on Corricella.
The landmarks of Procida reflect the typical Mediterranean pastel colours.
Procida offers simply cooking and at least 10 excellent restaurants with plain cooking based on fresh fish. This simple style never fails, thanks to the 20 fishing boats and a lot of small drifters.
The specialties of the cooking are: stewed rabbit, (it goes back to the Borbonen who came on Procida to hunt the wild rabbit on Vivara) and _espaghetti_f with sea-urchin. Procida has 6 beaches and 3 tufaceous sides with crystal-clear waters.
Ferry service is available at reasonable prices from Naples, Capri, and Ischia.
