4Procida – Italy

Procida, Italy’s 2022 Capital of Culture, is one of the most overlooked islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Its charming harbors are lined with pastel-painted houses, yet crowds are minimal.

Small beaches like Chiaiolella or Ciraccio are calm and intimate, perfect for relaxing in turquoise waters. Local trattorias serve freshly caught seafood, and narrow streets invite quiet exploration without the pressures of popular tourist towns.
