Spend a day on the popular island of Capri, which teems with tourists during the summer. Soak up the luxuriant gardens, the sun-drenched squares, restaurants, shops, and crowded streets. You will also enjoy the spectacular views of the sea and sky from Anacapri.
From pierside in Naples, you will walk to the nearby marina to board a boat for your scenic 50-minute cruise through Naple's Bay to the Island of Capri. Arriving at the colorful Marina Grande, your guide will dispatch you into various local minibuses for the transfer along the winding road to Anacapri. Visit the beautiful Villa S. Michele and gardens of Axel Munthe, a Swedish physician and author of the famous book, The Story of San Michele, in which he wrote his life, his discovery of Capri, and his dream of establishing his home on the island. The villa offers an interesting collection of antiquities and marvelous panoramic view from the garden. After the visit, you will have a short time to explore Anacapri before the return drive to Capri Town. (Instead of visiting the Villa S. Michele, you may take the chairlift to Monte Solaro if time and crowds permit.)
The route will offer magnificent views along the way. Walk with your guide through narrow streets and the central square, La Piazzetta, which is surrounded by intriguing old buildings and filled with sidewalk cafes. Popular with tourists and local alike, Capri is always extremely crowded and bustling with activity. You'll savor a lunch of Italian fare with wine at a hotel or restaurant in Capri Town.
After lunch, you will have the opportunity to explore the Gardens of Augustus with your guide. The gardens are filled with many species of plants and you can take in the views of the Faraglioni, a famed offshore rock outcropping, and the Bay of Marina Piccola. Explore Capri's fabled plaza, La Piazzetta, with its many chic boutiques and gift shops before taking the funicular back down to Marina Grande, where you will board your watercraft for the return trip to Naples marina where you will walk to the nearby pier.
Note: Capri is a very popular island and crowds should be expected during your visit. You may encounter crowds and delays at the funicular station in Capri. Due to the short distances involved, local minibuses in Capri are not equipped with air-conditioning. The itinerary of the tour may be changed but always covering the mentioned sites. Guests must be able to walk approximately 1.5 miles over rough stone and cobblestone streets with 10 - 15 steps. Comfortable walking shoes and sunscreen are recommended. Guests will be on their feet up to 90 minutes at any given time. The funicular in Capri is not wheelchair accessible. Inclement weather and rough seas may cause seasickness on the boat to/from Capri so guests should take the necessary precautions. |
