Capri Island
Another day trip from Naples to Capri Island. Very popular place during the summer but it wasn't so busy when i went. Most of the shops were closed and so was the Blue Grotto tour which was the sole reason for coming here... but as you can see, the ...

World's 2nd worst tour
... the Green Grotto - not to be mistaken for the Blue Grotto but they don't tell you that do they. I had attempted researching Capri before I left Australia and found the lack of information frustrating. Like many of our ports of call I decided to "wing ...
Southern Italy: Capri And The Amalfi Coast.
... craggy coast. Then it was on to a funicular railway to go straight up the hill from the marina to the actual town of Capri. There were spectacular views from here but we then caught a bus which took us up a narrow winding road hugging the cliff face (no ...

The Mountain
... at Monte Solaro (Mountain of the Sun) Bed and Breakfast. It is perched above the tiny town of Anacapri on the Italian Isle of Capri. We thought we had a view Villa Adriana, but this view is even more heavenly. The trip to get to Monte Solaro ...
Capri
Got to Capri, took a swim. Went to the other side of the Island, saw the Natural Arc. I wanted to swim under the Arc but it was impossible. Walked back, checked out Maxim Gorki's house, took another swim, got an ice-cream and headed back to ...

What a wonderful day!!!!
... - I am beat. I am going to bed, but I wanted to give you a little taste of what we saw today. It was truly amazing. Capri was the most beautiful place I have ever seen. We left this morning at 0900 and we just got back about an hour ago. Enrico took us ...
Island of Capri
... hotel. It was a nice view of Naples from up there! We then boarded the boat at 0835 for a trip to the Island of Capri. We opted not to go on the guided tour since we wanted a day to ourselves. Unfortunately, the tide was too high so ...
Cruising to Capri!
Today we had a great time!!! We left early this morning to go to Capri, an island off the coast of Italy. We had to catch a small motorboat from the beach at our hotel. To get there, we took a funicular seven floors down, then an elevator about ten ...
Capri
... a 3 hour bus trip to Naples which was a VERY dodgy looking city. Apparently big Mafia city. We then boarded the ferri to Capri which took about 45 minutes. Capri was really nice (especially as the sun was shining), lots of pedestrian only areas, quite ...
The Blue Grotto
... missed the boat back to Sorrento so we sat down at a little Restaurant and had a fantastic dinner while watching the people of Capri go about their business. The person that waited on us chatted with us for some time and when they found out that we were ...
Faraglioni and designer clothes
Italy is having a heat wave! The day we went to Capri it was about 32 degrees C and even hotter among the little streets of designer shops and stupidly expenisive everythings. We didnt buy anything in Capri, not suprisingly but we did have a guided tour ...
Day 17 ' Capri and Empty Wallets
... taxi (that is all there is here in Sorrento) to the marina and then boarded a hydrofoil for a quick 20 minute trip to Capri $$. Once there we immediately got tickets $$ for another boat to take us to the Blue Grotto. Once we reached the 'staging area' ...
The Amalfi Coast
... to go snorkeling in the water. It's the most beautiful color. I would come to Sorrento for a vacation. It's more low key. We did Capri and Sorrento before the Pompeii entry, but for some reason it wouldn't save. Back to ...
Sorrento to Positano to Capri
... crazy, not sure what Greece will be like, but I'm really looking forward to it. Here are some pictures, the battery in my camera went south before I arrived in Capri, at least I hope it is the battery. Next message will be from Greece. Ciao, ...
Amalfi Coast and Capri
... to Positano and back. A round trip costs only about 3 euros, so a very cheap thrill worth every cent. This brings us to Capri. I just got back from taking the chair lift to the top of Capri's Mount Salero. Nothing can top the panorama of the Bay of ...
A bit of a disappointment
Today was a sunnier day. We took the ferry from Amalfi to the Island of Capri. It was about 2 hours long. We sat on the outside deck of the boat to get pictures of the different towns and sights along the way. It was great for the pictures but it was damn ...
Capri!
... much of the island from the sea, but to truly experience the grottos we would have to rent our own boat. When we reached Capri, we had lunch at a stand with chicken and french fry sandwiches -- just like the grease trucks back home! Since we had ...
Breath-taking Isle of Capri
... from the beast Mt. Vesuvius, so I'm guessing that we're not looking at original landscape all the time. Arriving in Capri, we disembarked from our comfortable ferry and were transferred into tiny, specially built buses to transport us up to Middle ...
Capri
... you feel harrassed. It was a pity that the culture and atmosphere were so contrived as, while I believe Ischia is more beautiful, Capri was naturally very dramatic, full of huge cliffs, grottos and huge rocks sticking out of the sea. As mentioned ...
Capri Tickles You in All the Right Places

Capri
... of the grandsons mused, "I wonder what made them see this pile of rock and decide to build on it?" The isle of Capri was apparently previously attached to the Italian mainland, but floated away quite a while ago I imagine. Continental drift I guess. ...
Capri, Italy
... flat in the rowboat while your rower pulls on this chain to get the boat through. It's quite a spectacle. Rick Steve's calls Capri a world class tourist trap. I'm not sure it was that bad. The first thing everyone needs to do is pronounce the island ...
