A Day In Capri Italy

Advantages: Lots to see and do
Disadvantages: not enough time

~ A Day In Capri ~ We booked a day trip to capri with a representative from our hotel (we were staying at the Excelsior Vittoria Hotel) in Sorrento this trip cost approx £50.00 per person. We got the hydrofoil from the marina piccolo which takes about twenty to thirty minutes or so. As we approached Capri I was amazed at the view of elegant brightly coloured buildings and tropical trees and plants it really does take your breath away and looks a bit like Balamory with all the beautiful colours and shapes, I think you will see what I mean on the photo's. ~ AnaCapri ~ We got a minibus to AnaCapri which is the island's second (Ana-means other), quieter town with lovely little white houses halfway up the slopes of Monte Solaro (which is the highest point on capri), one of the highlights for me was the scenic ...

When in rome..whatever, when in Naples.. go to Capri.

Advantages: Pure beauty in a tiny island
Disadvantages: VERY expensive

of lovely restaurants and shops there. To get to the higher part of the town there are various options: the Funicular railway, which leaves every 15 minutes and, in peak times, every 5 minutes; a taxi, or the St. Costanzo line bus.
