Bay of Naples

You will be picked up at the harbour of Procida and taken to your hotel. Take your first walk along the harbour basin before stopping for dinner at one of the island's great fish restaurants.

Circular walk on Procida, the most unspoilt island in the Bay of Naples, with its colourful houses and idyllic fishing harbours. You cross the narrow streets to the ‘Terra Murata’, the oldest neighbourhood with a medieval fortress and magnificent views. You then reach the picturesque fishing harbour of Corricella, famous from the film ‘Il Postino’. After a break, your route takes you along the wooded coast to the harbour of Chiaiolella, where you can stop for a swim.

In the morning, discover the north of the island or the hidden island jewel Vivara. Then transfer to the harbour, from where you take the ferry to Ischia, the largest island in the Bay of Naples. Once at the harbour, stroll through Ischia Porto and walk through the old town to the medieval castle for your overnight stay. The last few metres offer a wonderful view of the town.

Today you follow the south coast through a breathtaking landscape with terraced vineyards and spectacular lava formations. You will enjoy unforgettable views of the Bay of Naples and Capri before reaching the small town of Testaccio and the sandy beach of Marina dei Maronti. Here, narrow gorges with thermal springs, which were already known to the Romans, invite you to take a short dip. Then along the beach to the small fishing village of Sant' Angelo and back to the hotel by bus.

From Fiaiano or Fontana, you begin the ascent to Monte Epomeo, the highest peak on the island, followed by Capo dell'Uomo, Ischia's second-highest mountain. The hike follows well-maintained, easy paths and offers impressive views of the sea throughout. You hike through idyllic forests and vineyards, past former rock dwellings of monks and hermits, until you reach the westernmost town on the island, Forio. A detour to the Fondo dell'Oglio, one of Ischia's most fascinating volcanoes, is also worthwhile.

Take the boat to the famous island of Capri, which still enjoys worldwide fame today. First you explore the charming alleyways, characterised by Moorish influence, before climbing up to the ruins of Villa Iovis, one of the most impressive Roman villas on the island. The route continues to the famous Faraglioni rocks, three striking rocky islands off the south coast of Capri. The Via Krupp, probably one of the most beautiful footpaths in the world, takes you down to the picturesque Marina Piccola.

On the last day of hiking, you start in the idyllic and less touristy Anacapri. From there, you can reach Monte Solaro, the highest point on the island, on foot or comfortably by chairlift. Once at the top, you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views over the entire island, the Bay of Naples, the Bay of Salerno and the Amalfi Coast. The hike ends at the world-famous Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra). You can end the evening relaxing in one of the many romantic restaurants.
