SeaWatch Posted July 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2018 We have one day in the port of Naples. We have visited Capri, Amalfi and Pompeii. So....of these 3 islands, which would you select for the day visit: Capri ( again), Ischia or Procida? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted July 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I haven't visited Procida, fair warning. I was somewhat disappointed in Ischia; guess I expected more after reading others' comments. The highlight of my day spent there was visiting some (scant) ruins of the original Punic settlement and seeing Nestor's Cup in the Archaeological museum of Pithecusae. I do like Capri despite the tourists. If you haven't done the hike up to Villa Jovis, it's worth the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaWatch Posted July 25, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Is Villa Jovis in Anacapri? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted July 25, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 25, 2018 No, there are two pathways leading up to it from the Piazzetta. See info and walking directions here: https://www.capri.net/en/s/villa-jovis-mount-tiberio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never figured out why Tuesday seems to be the day of closures in this area -- the Archaeological Museum in Naples is also closed on Tuesdays.

bennybear Posted July 26, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I would visit the magnificent palace in Caserta, easy by train. They filmed one of the Star Wars films there. Then return for pizza in Naples. I too was underwhelmed by Ischia, not enough Time to really see it. Or perhaps Herculaneum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the three islands the OP asked about, I would go back to Capri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
