Procida
Procida is one of the Flegrean Islands off the coast of Naples in southern Italy. The island is between Cape Miseno and the island of Ischia. With its tiny satellite island of Vivara, it is a comune of the Metropolitan City of Naples, in the region of Campania.EtymologyThe island derives its name from the Latin name Prochyta. Προχύτη/Prochýtē means 'poured out' in Greek. According to another theory, Prochyta comes from the Greek verb prokeitai, meaning 'it lies forth', because of the appearance of the island seen from the sea.GeographyProcida is located between Capo Miseno and the island of Ischia. It is less than 4.1km2. Its coastlines, very jagged, are 16km. The Terra Murata hill is the highest point on the island (91m). Geologically, Procida was created by the eruption of four volcanoes, now dormant and submerged.HistoryAncient historySome 16th-15th c BCE Achaean objects have been found on Procida. Traces have also been found on Vivara, an islet off the southwest coast of Procida. The first historically attested Greek settlers arrive from the Aegean to this island during the 8th c BCE, followed by other Greeks coming from nearby Cuma.Take a peek at our international travel planner: Procida and its charms laid bare and easily scheduled.
