Capri is a rocky, mountainous island about 35 minutes by fast ferry from Napoli, but much closer to Sorrento by the Amalfi Coast. It is a playground for the rich and famous,
as well as the tourists who ferry over every day. The best way to see the island in a day is to rent a boat, or take a leisurely 2 hour boat tour around the island for under 20 Euros, a pretty good deal.
But the Blue Grotto along the way defines a tourist trap - an extra 8.50 Euro bumped to 12 Euros for a required tip, and then the boat drivers want an additional tip as you leave.
Time to go through the blue grotto, about 2 or 3 minutes. But with the light coming in, it is very nice and blue. There are two main towns - Capri and Anacapri, with Capri easily accessible
and featuring chi-chi shops and restaurants, a beautifully kept town and very good gelati. |
