Boat Tour to Procida and Ischia, discover Private Secret Beaches

Peschiere di Lucullo, was built in the 74 b.C. by a roman politic Lucio Licino Lucullo. Peschiere are 6 caves dug into the travertine. The use was like fish farm. Here, we will take the first dip in the sea. We'll swim into the cave and inside the show is unbelievable. After swimming for a few meters, you'll can walk inside on the floor. You can admire pavement, walls typical of Roman architecture before Christ. Let go to see the photos...

Our first stop on the island of Procida is Punta di Pioppano, where the old lighthouse was located. To arrive we’ve seen the main port surrounded by the multi coloured houses. A curiosity: why the houses are all coloured but everyone with a different colour? Ask the Captain. This spot, the old Light House, is very difficult to arrive from the land and the beach hasn’t sand but have the typical flat rocks. Probably for those reasons is lived from young people with all their enthusiastic vitality. Its crystal clear waters deserve a dip and a swim on the shore where you can lie a few minutes on the rocks to sunbathe being absorbed by the chatter of the youngest.

Spiaggia di Punta Ottimo, its fame thanks the movie "IL Postino", that is its natural continuation. It's our first main stops.
Punta Ottimo Beach, if we are lucky we can be really alone. This beach is unreachable from the land... only climbing, probably. Thanks the beautiful water you can be lulled while sunbathing on the boat or on the inflatable island. Young people could enjoy the towing games. You can also, swim from the boat easily on the black sandy beach. Thank the fins and snorkeling mask, available for all the crew, you'll keep in love to seeing the life under the sea.

Procida has her Island, its name is "natural reserve of Vivara". This is another spots available only from the sea. The old bridge that connects Procida with Vivara is not practicable as it has been abandoned for decades. The rocky bottom gives us crystal clear water. The seabed is fabulous and inhabited by several protected animal species. Swimming in the water with the snorkeling mask will leave you speechless, the colors and its "inhabitants" will offer you a show hard to forget. It is very easy to climb from the sea on the island of Vivara and walk between the Mediterranean scrub before a new jump into the sea.

It's unbelievable, but it is lunch time! We offer you two solutions. The first. Take a lunch on the boat. The dining area of the boat is comfortable for six people. It is characterized by a "U" sofa with a central table. You can eat some cold dishes that you can choose and communicate to the Crew one day before the tour date. The second. Corricella is characterized from a small port and beautiful small houses. At the port there are a lot of good restaurants, The Crew can suggest you where take a good lunch.

Solchiaro is a peninsula on the southern tip of Procida. This area is particularly loved by hikers, almost completely uninhabited. We will sail gently, skirting the peninsula so you can look at the lush nature of Solchiaro.

Between Solchiaro and "Punta di Pizzaco" there is one of the most beautiful coves, absolutely, "private". Accessible only by sea. Here we will enjoy a bath with the sun that starting its journey to the west will flood us with its warmth. It is no coincidence that this time is called "the golden hour".

It’s almost time to greet Procida and return to the "dry land". You have the time to take a fast shower on the boat, dress a T shirt, a pair of shorts and spend some time on the island in the fabulously colored frame of the Corricella. Let me spend a few words to describe this port. The Corricella is completely unattainable for cars, motorcycles etc. You can arrive there only by boat or by foot running a hundred steps. The Corricella is a really Fisherman's port and their families. Even today is lived from entire families that take from the sea their their livelihood.

Walking on the port, at the Golden Hour is unspeakable. Take your time to speak with some locals and try to hear their stories... Anyway, you can't come back before eating the greatest ice cream I've ever had. All the tastes are Hand made by organic products from the island agriculture. Unique taste!
