Known as the isle of the sirens, Capri is a real nature paradise, where you can contemplate beautiful, breathtaking scenarios, colorful streets and bloomed flowers in every corner of it.

Even since I visited this beautiful island when I was a little girl I couldn't stop dreaming about its colorful streets, its shiny boutiques but most of all its beautiful nature views. So it is one of my summer  destination

HOW TO ARRIVE

Capri is only accessible by the sea and you can get the ferry from Sorrento as well as from Napoli.

You can decide if you want to get the fast or the slow ferry; the slow one takes 1hrs30 to arrive from Napoli. At the opposite the fast one takes 30 minutes less than the other one.

Once arrived to "Marina grande" you can arrive to Capri town by getting the funicular that allows you to watch a little glimpse of city crossing the flowery streets. You can also decide to take a taxi that are really glamorous, less less crowded but much more expensive of public transportations.

WHERE AND WHAT TO BUY

   Capri is  known for its famous elegant boutiques that you can cross in every single corner of the city. But the most important shopping street is definitely  "Via Camerelle" where you can find all the most iconic luxury brands framed by beautiful and colored flowers and cute little cafès.

As to what to buy you should definitely opt for the beautiful handmade Capri sandals; you can find a lots of little boutiques all around the city with a lots of different types of beautiful, shiny sandals and they can also help you customize your own, personal pair of them. This is my personal favorite memory to bring with me because they are really beautiful but also because it is really personal and there is so much work of talented artists behind them and it helps me appreciate them even more.

    Another thing I love to do when I'm in this beautiful island  is to go sundresses shopping. You can literally find them everywhere, but my favorite shop is definitely "Antica Sartoria" because they offer very high quality clothes made of flax, silk and other materials.

   Capri is also known for its beautiful perfumes made by the scented flowers and herbs of the island. This is a really ancient practice that begun with the friars of the Charterhouse ( "La Certosa di San Giacomo"). You can literally find these artigianal perfumes all around the shops but "Carthusia" is the most famous and ancient perfumery of the island. There are numerous of it all around the streets of Capri, but the one that's located near the Augusto's garden (Viale Matteotti) is the only one that has the original perfumes laboratory. The best thing about them is that their perfumes are made of real flowers and you can already smell strong, sweet fragrances from the street.

WHERE AND WHAT TO EAT

Italy is also the homeland of food, so if you don't eat local food you'll lose half of the Italian experience. 

   First of all you should definitely try the Italian pizza; it's really different from the pizza you know, it is softer, juicier and more delicious of every other pizza you could have tried before. Since Napoli and the surrounding areas (Capri as well) are the real country of the pizza, there isn't a real difference from a place to another to eat it. You'll find a good, delicious and well made pizza everywhere you'll decide to go for dinner. 

   The "caprese" is another local speciality you should definitely try during your Capri trip. There are two different "caprese": one is a chocolate, hazelnut local cake that's really soft and delicious, the other one is a sort of salad made of mozzarella and local tomatoes. I suggest you to try both of them but if you prefer to only try one of these, be careful to specific the type of caprese you want, if the "caprese"salad or the "caprese" cake.

   You can't go to Capri and not try some high-quality, fresh limoncello made of local lemons. It is really sweet and has a low quantities of alcohol, but if you don't like it at all you can opt for a fresh lemon Granita by a local stand. My favorite ones are the one that's located in the central place of the city ("Piazza Umberto 1") so you'll also enjoy the beautiful view, but also the little stand located by The "Augusto Garden".

   Since Capri it's a sea location and the fishing is a really thriving business, I suggest you to try some sea food. One of my favorite ones is "The shellfish spaghetti" or " Spaghetti ai frutti di mare", but I also love the "Calamarata" that's a really good Pasta with fresh Calamari or some simple fish such as shrimps and mussels that are fished a lot in the area. Other local specialities to absolutely try are: "La Caponata" and "Ravioli alla Caprese"

    My favorite restaurants are definitely "Le Camerelle" and " I Faraglioni" located in via Camerelle, because of the beautiful view and the romantic atmosphere you can feel while eating a fresh, delicious dinner.

    One of the most famous restaurant of the area is "Al Grottino", known as the vip restaurant since it's often frequented by famous people from all around the world to eat the delicious local specialities.

    Another location that I love is "Il Geranio", where you can eat with a beautiful sea view on the famous "Faraglioni" and surrounded by a beautiful nature scenario.

   "Da Paolino lemon trees" is another beautiful restaurant where you can eat delicious local food under beautiful, perfumed lemon trees, making the atmosphere more romantic than ever.

   Last but not least I love "Le grottelle" because it has a beautiful view down the sea and they offers a great variety of local food choice that you can eat while admiring a stunning sunset on the panorama or simply after a beautiful trekking session to the natural arc. 

  As for an aperitif, I love enjoying mine watching the sun setting behind the beautiful faraglioni at "Capri Rooftop".

Other foods to try (If you're also staying to Napoli I suggest you to try these ones there instead):

-Babbà

-Mozzarella

-Pizza fritta

-Pastiera

-Sfogliatella frolla\riccia

WHAT TO DO

In Capri there are a lots of things to do. You can decide to go shopping, to explore and visit the city, to go hiking, as well as to go swimming in the stunning crystal clear water of the island. 

Nature walk: Capri has a lots of natural landscapes and it is a perfect place to relax, to get inspired and to free the mind from worries. You can decide to lost yourself in the beautiful mother nature's gift or to go hiking in one of the 4 different Itineraries, each of which is beautiful in its own way.
( If you're interested I can publish a different blogpost about them.)

Shopping: As I said, there are a lots of beautiful boutique all around the city, but "via Camerelle" is the most famous shopping street of the island. 

Exploring the city: There's so much to visit in this island that you'll be spoiled for choice. The 3 must-see are: The Carthusia perfumery and the "Certosa" as well as the Augustus gardens. 

"Augusto's garden"

   But also "Villa Jovis" is really famous due to the fact that is was the private residence of the Roman emperor Tiberio, from which you can also watch the reef of his suicide 

   I also suggest to visit "Villa San Michele" that is located in a different section of the island named "Anacapri". It is a beautiful ancient villa in which you can also visit a beautiful garden riches of flowers and plants. But what I loved the most about it is the fantastic view from there; infact you can see all the city embroidered with crystal clear water, on which a mysterious spinx drives herself. 

  You can also decide to have a Capri boat tour, to visit the numerous and beautiful caves (the most famous of them is The "Grotta Azzurra" because it has a beautiful, clear blue color that shines through it.) and to see and swim through the clear Capri waters.

  

Beach: there are so much beaches in Capri that's one of the most difficult decision ever. These are the most common ones:

-Faro Punta Carena Beach

-La Grotta Azzurra

-I Faraglioni

-Marina Piccola Beach

-Marina Grande Beach

-Palazzo a Mare

-Lo scoglio delle sirene

-Torre saracena (through the famous "Via Krupp" but this one had been recently closed due to security reasons)

-Punta Tragara beach

The "Faraglioni" beach is my personal favorite because it is exactly down the iconic Capri rocks and because the water is so clear and has a beautiful smerald color. It is a perfect point to swim and a beautiful to-do experience, but due to the deep water it is not a suitable beach for children.
