The island of Capri is located off the Sorrentino coast of Italy. Our 4 day stay in Sorrento included a quick ferry over to Capri. The 'fast ferry' takes about 30 minutes and is a pretty smooth ride. Once we arrived at the main port, we searched for an information booth...to no avail. We were, however approached by a guy peddling a private boat tour of the island. We obviously look like tourists, because we are constantly approached!!!
After Chuck inspected the 18' boat (to make sure I wasn't going to either toss my cookies or get tossed overboard) we agreed to the 2 hour tour. The price was reasonable and far less than we've paid in the past to rent a sailboat for 4 hours in the caribbean. The sea was pretty rough, but Cristiano did a great job of explaining the sights and making sure I didn't fall overboard! We toured some of the grottos, saw the natural arch, ricotta rock, the faraglioni and a lighthouse (the second one built in all of Italy).
Once the boat tour was over, we made our way to the city of Capri and then over to the city of Anacapri. Once in Anacapri, we took a single chairlift up to the highest point on the island.
Here are some pictures from the trip.
