Procida Small Group Boat Tour from Ischia with Hidden Coves
Dive into famous film-set waters and a hidden natural pool and let the crowds stay behind!
Sardine-packed beaches are not the vibe on vacation! Leave the selfie-stick hordes behind and hop on our boat to Procida, the quiet island Italy tried to keep for itself. We'll zip you to the famous film set beach of Massimo Troisi’s last movie “Il Postino,” and to a hidden natural swimming pool only known by locals of the area. Snap your photos of the famous Corricella harbor, then hit the docks for a perfect cone of gelato. Proper VIP treatment on a low-key island, now that's vacation.
