A Complete Guide to Procida

The Procida Bus Network

There are six bus lines that connect the entire island, most of which begin and end their loop at the small ‘Porto’ terminal by Procida’s ferry port in Marina Grande (find it here). This is where everyone will arrive by boat from Naples, Capri, or Ischia, so it’s very convenient to connect as soon as you arrive, and the tourist information office is in the same area if you’re unsure, or want to grab a map etc.

· L1 / Porto, Chiaiolella, Sant’Antonio, Porto | every 10-20 minutes

· L2 / Porto, Chiaiolella, Solchiaro, Sant’Antonio, Porto | every 30-60 minutes

· L3 / Chiaiolella, Sant’Antonio, Piazza Posta, Pozzo Vecchio | every 50 minutes

· C1 / Porto, Pozzo Vecchio, Via Saletta, Sant’Antonio, Porto | every 20-40 minutes

· C2 / Porto, Terra Murata, Corricella, Porto | every 20-40 minutes

· L7 / Porto, Terra Murata, Sant’Antonio, Ospedale, Porto | every 90 minutes

As you can see, some routes are more frequent than others, and it’s best to view the timetables as a useful guide, rather than indicator of punctuality (sometimes they are late as they’ll tend to wait for ferries and hydrofoil passengers to disembark).

The most recent timetable is available here on the EAV website, but it doesn’t include all lines – if you find an updated one, please do let us know.

The price of a single 60-minute ticket costs €1.20 if bought in advance (either from the Caremar ticket office, various bars, tobacconists and newsstands) or €1.40 if bought onboard the bus (cash best), making it a super affordable way to get about the island. Note that the ticket allows you to board / connect with multiple buses within the 60 minutes.

Bus stops are numerous and marked around the island, but you may have to pay attention to request a stop near your accommodation on certain services.

Whilst an affordable way to get around the island, it’s important to anticipate that during the summer months the Procida buses can be crowded and busy, and you may find yourself having to wait around quite a while for the next one to show up; this is why we found it to be quicker and more pleasant to just walk around and between most places.
