Where the figures come from, how we check them and what happens when we get it wrong.

Where we take the figures from

Primary sources first: the shipping line’s own sales site for fares and timetables, the Comune di Procida and the Regione Campania for decrees and bans, EAV for the buses, the managing bodies for the reserves and the monuments. Then local sources and checking on the spot. Every page with verifiable figures lists at the bottom the sources it actually used.

Prices and opening times: the verification date

Prices, fares and opening times are read at the source and published with the date on which we read them. The Caremar fares you find on the site, for example, are the ones read on 09/09/2026. These are figures that change at every change of season: we recheck them periodically, we update the date when we reread them, and on every page we say to reverify on the operator’s site before you travel. The same goes for the decrees on the vehicle ban, which are reissued every year.

What we do not publish

An empty field is better than an estimate. We do not invent opening times, telephone numbers, ratings or counts: if we have no reliable source, the figure does not appear and often we write why. We do not publish price lists from companies that do not make them public. Where the sources disagree we say so openly instead of picking a number at random. Operators’ claims stay attributed to them.

How we choose restaurants, bars and hotels

On what is on the plate and in the room, not on where they rank on the portals. Public ratings we quote as such. If a place is expensive for what it offers, or table service is heavily criticised, it says so on the page.

Updates and corrections

Every page shows the date it was last updated and the name of the person who wrote it. If you find a mistake, tell us: we correct it on the page and, when the correction concerns a price or an opening time, we update the verification date too.

Editorial FAQ

Do you accept sponsored content?

No. No restaurant, hotel or operator pays to appear or to be described in a particular way. Some links to tours generate a commission, which has no bearing on what we recommend nor on the order in which we do it.

How often do you update prices and opening times?

Fares, ferry timetables and vehicle decrees we recheck at every change of season and before the summer; the rest at least once a year. The verification date is written next to the figure.

Why are some opening times and prices missing?

Because we have not found a reliable source. We prefer to leave the field empty and say so: it happens with beach club prices, with the validity of the bus ticket and with the price lists of some shipping lines.
