About this tour
Spend eight hours exploring two of the Bay of Naples' most photogenic islands via hydrofoil and ferry. Start in Procida with a guided wander through Terra Murata's narrow lanes and the working fishing village of La Corricella, then cross to Ischia for a driven circuit past thermal spas, coastal villages, and the dramatic Aragonese Castle perched on its rocky islet. End with a stroll down Ischia's main shopping street before ferrying back to the mainland.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide at Naples port and board the hydrofoil early—expect a brisk 40-minute crossing. Procida feels lived-in rather than polished: coloured houses cluster around La Corricella's working dock where fishermen still mend nets. The midday ferry to Ischia gives you breathing room. Your afternoon circles the larger island by private car, pausing at each village's centre. Aragonese Castle dominates the eastern shore; the drive itself reveals thermal springs, vineyards, and stone villages clinging to volcanic slopes. The final hour on Via Roma lets you browse before the return ferry.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for the Terra Murata cobblestones and waterfront walks. Bring sunscreen and water; shade is sparse on the boat decks. Lunch isn't included, so eat in one of the villages. The pace suits all fitness levels, though there are steps and uneven terrain. Prams and specialist child seats are available.
