DAY 2 CAPRI
Capri’s history dates back to ancient Roman times. It was a favored resort for
Roman emperors, most notably Emperor Tiberius, who built several villas on
the island, including the famous Villa Jovis. In the Middle Ages, Capri was a
target for pirate raids, but it gradually developed into a thriving fishing and
agricultural community. By the 19th century, the island became a popular
destination for artists, writers, and travelers seeking its natural beauty.
Capri is known for its vibrant local culture, which includes traditional cuisine
featuring fresh seafood and locally grown lemons. The island is famous for its
handmade sandals and perfumes. Festivals and events celebrating local
traditions are held throughout the year.
The island is accessible by ferry or hydrofoil from Naples and Sorrento. If you
want to come back and stay overnight, the island has a variety of
accommodation options, ranging from luxury hotels to bed and breakfasts.
They are a bit outside of a moderate budget but may be worth a splurge!
Getting around is easy with local buses, taxis, and the funicular that connects
Marina Grande to the town center. Please review the options provided for a
self guided tour as well as an organized tour option in the coming pages.
While it’s not terribly difficult to explore Capri on your own, I love the guided
tours that provide more information and take care of the transportation.
CAPRI IS A MUST SEE!
