Isola di Vivara, 80079 Procida NA
A small natural island connected to Procida, a protected reserve famous for its biodiversity, wild trails, and views of the Gulf of Naples.
Vivara is a small volcanic island located opposite Procida, connected to the latter by a man-made bridge. It is part of a protected nature reserve and represents one of the most pristine environments in the Gulf of Naples.
The island is crescent-shaped and preserves a rich and delicate ecosystem, with Mediterranean scrub, rare plant species, and a wide variety of fauna. Access is regulated and limited to preserve its natural balance, making it an ideal place for scientific activities, guided excursions, and nature observation.
From a historical and archaeological perspective, Vivara is also an important site: remains related to Mycenaean settlements and ancient Mediterranean trade activities have been discovered, testifying to its strategic role in the past. The view of the islands of Ischia and Procida makes the landscape particularly evocative.
