I spend the weekend with my Austrian friends in Procida during my trip to Italy. Procida is a small island located in the Bay of Naples, off the coast of Italy. It has a rich history dates back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who used the island as a trading post and military outpost.

Procida is a popular tourist destination known for its beautiful beaches, colorful houses, and rich cultural heritage. The island is home to several important cultural institutions, including the Museum of the Sea, which celebrates the island’s maritime history, and the Diocesan Museum, which houses a collection of religious art and artifacts.

We did many things while there, but one of the main highlights was riding a scooter around the island and swimming at the beach during the sunset. I had so much fun and made many memories with my new friends.
