The Isle of Capri Tour

Take a 5-minute walk from the ship to the nearby harbour of Naples to board the hydrofoil that will transfer guests in 45 minutes to the island of Capri.

Anacapri

On arrival at the main port of Capri, Marina Grande, guests will be taken by mini-coach to the higher village of Anacapri, where they can choose between taking the chair lift up to Monte Solaro, boasting breathtaking views of the bay of Naples; or joining the guide for a visit inside the famous Villa San Michele: an ancient property built on the ruins of one of the Tiberius palaces, belonging to the Swedish doctor and author Axel Munthe, writer of the popular  Life of San Michele book.  The villa is now a museum of his paintings and furnishings.

After a little free time to have a look around local shops, the tour will proceed to Capri village, where guests will enjoy a typical Italian lunch at a local first class restaurant.

Capri village

Capri is still today one of the most famous summer resorts in the Mediterranean and has been so since the time of ancient Roman Empire.  Roman villas such as Villa Joves and other rich proprieties belonging to roman emperors, such as Caesar Augustus and Tiberius, who spent a lot of time on the island, can still be visited and admired.

In more modern times Capri has been a popular place for writers, poets, famous actors and actresses, which have given it a legendary reputation as “the island of love”.

Naples

At the end of this great visit of the island, guests will take the famous “funicular” which will take them to Marina Grande to board the jetfoil which will ride them back to Naples harbour.
