Welcome to Marina di Corricella, a jewel set in the island of Procida.

Marina of Corricella is one of the most picturesque and charming places in all of Procida, if not the entire Gulf of Naples. This small fishing village is famous for its pastel-colored houses overlooking a tranquil natural harbor, creating a mosaic of colors that enchants visitors from around the world.

Let's start with a bit of history. Corricella is one of the oldest areas of Procida, with origins dating back to the times of Greek and Roman settlers. The village has been a refuge for fishermen for centuries, and it still retains that authentic and peaceful atmosphere. The houses, built against the hillside, are a perfect example of Mediterranean architecture. Each home is painted in a different color, creating a fascinating, almost fairy-tale-like visual effect.

The houses are closely linked to marine life, with porches, external stairs, and terraces directly facing the sea. The facades are painted in vibrant shades of yellow, pink, blue, and green, with colors chosen according to ancient traditions to help fishermen recognize their own houses from the boat.

Walking along the quay, you'll notice the incessant activity of the local fishermen. Fishing remains a fundamental part of life in Corricella. You'll see men repairing nets, arranging boats, and preparing for their daily fishing trips. The smell of the sea mixes with that of the restaurant kitchens, creating a unique atmosphere that stimulates all the senses.

A visit to Corricella wouldn't be complete without tasting the local cuisine. Here, the restaurants offer fresh fish dishes prepared according to traditional Procidian recipes. Sit in one of the many restaurants overlooking the harbor and try "linguine with sea urchins," a rich and flavorful dish that highlights the flavors of the Mediterranean. Another specialty is "squid and potatoes," a simple but delicious dish that combines the sweet flavor of squid with the softness of potatoes.

One of the most magical moments in Corricella is at sunset. End your day with an aperitif in one of the bars along the quay. As the sun sets, the sky turns shades of pink, orange, and purple, reflecting in the calm waters of the harbor. The lights of the houses begin to twinkle, creating a romantic and serene atmosphere.

For photography enthusiasts, Corricella offers endless opportunities. Every corner, every alley, every glimpse of the harbor is worth capturing. Climb the stairs that wind up the hill for a panoramic view of the village and the surrounding sea. From the top, you can take spectacular photos that encapsulate all the beauty and essence of this magical place.

Besides photography, exploring the alleys of Corricella is an experience in itself. Get lost in the labyrinth of narrow streets, discovering hidden details: an old wooden door, a flowered balcony, a mural telling stories of the past. Every corner of Corricella has something to tell and invites you to uncover its secrets.

Don't forget to also visit the small church in the village, dedicated to Santa Maria delle Grazie. This church, though simple, represents the spiritual heart of the fishing community and offers a place of peace and reflection.

Finally, life in Corricella is marked by the rhythms of the sea and the seasons. The inhabitants, with their friendliness and hospitality, will make you feel part of the community, sharing with you stories and traditions passed down from generation to generation. Spending time in Corricella means immersing yourself in a world where time seems to stand still, where each day is an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of simplicity and the richness of tradition.
