Capri Tour - What to see on a 1 day trip
Capri - What we saw on our day trip from Sorrento! Stunning views & more.
My video of what to see in Sorrento is here:
My video of what to see in Positano is here (3m10s):
You can also see my Pompeii tour video here (9m06s):
And you can see my Herculaneum tour video here (7m56s):
Here's the Capri video narrative:
Capri is a small Italian island in the Bay of Naples, about 5 kilometers from the mainland.
We visited on a day trip in April, arriving via a fast jet ferry from Sorrento and avoiding the peak summer season, when the island can be overrun with tourists.
Capri is also easy to reach by ferry from Naples.
We arrived at Capri’s main port, Marina Grande, which is on the north coast.
From here you can take boat trips, for example to the Blue Grotto, which is a flooded sea-cave, or you can take a boat to the south coast to see the Faraglioni Rocks.
However, with limited time we decided to make for Capri town, then on to to Anacapri and Monte Solaro.
To get from Marina Grande up to Capri town we took the funicular railway which connects the harbour to the Piazzetta, the town’s main square.
Capri’s two main centres, Capri town and its uphill rival Anacapri, are almost entirely given over to tourism and prices can be high.
Capri is a world-famous beauty spot and it’s also a summer favourite of holidaying VIPs.
The Piazzetta is full of fashionable bars and it’s well worth stopping for an espresso. You might even see one of those VIPs!
The square is dominated by a free-standing clock tower.
Note the tiled clock face.
Capri is well known for its maiolica tiles.
Here they can be seen forming a map of the island.
We boarded a crowded bus to Anacapri and explored the island’s second town.
Walking along Via Giuseppe Orlandi, we saw the Casa Rossa, a brightly coloured house built in the late 1800s by an American colonel. It’s now a museum.
Continuing along this road, we reached Piazza San Nicola and the Church of San Michele, built in Italian baroque style at the turn of the 18th century.
Built on an octagonal Greek cross plan, the church is famous for its maiolica floor decoration depicting the expulsion of Adam and Eve. It was completed in 1761.
For an impressive view of the entire floor, you can climb the spiral staircase to the organ loft and look out over the church from above.
More maiolica tiles can be seen nearby, decorating the benches in Piazza Armando Diaz.
The Monte Solaro chairlift is also in Anacapri, and it reaches the top of the 589 meters high mountain within minutes.
From the summit there are picturesque views over the island and across the Bay of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno.
There’s also a great view of the Faraglioni Rocks from here.
These three spurs of rock rise from the sea within meters of the coast and are one of the favourite destinations for boat tours of the island’s coast.
We hiked down from the summit back to Anacapri. The path is quite uneven in places but the walk is well worth it for the changing panoramas.
On the way down, you can see a series of small bronze plaques. Each represents a stop on the Via Crucis, or Way of the Cross.
We headed back to Marina Grande and caught the last ferry back to Sorrento, which left late afternoon.
You can see plenty of this beautiful island in a few hours, but don’t expect to fit everything in.
Next time, maybe we’ll get to the Blue Grotto!

Day Trip to Sorrento, Italy Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Considered the official start of the Amalfi Coast, the cliff-perched town of Sorrento makes for a quick and easy day trip. We caught the train in Pompei at Villa dei Misteri and took the Circumvesuviana line all the way down the coast. Our plan for the day? To eat and wander around without much of an itinerary.
Since we were visiting just before the holidays, the streets were decked out with all sorts of Christmas decorations. We befriended a few dogs along the way, and then we found a spot to indulge in coffees and pastries.
After walking through the town, we started making our way down to the waterfront, more specifically, to Marina Grande. This harbour is line with pastel-coloured buildings, boats bobbing in the water, and lots of seafood restaurants.
After walking the length of the marina and browsing through menus, we finally settled on a restaurant for lunch: Zi’Ntonio Mare.
Making our way back to town, we also attempted to visit Sorrento Cathedral, but we arrived outside of opening hours so here’s a quick look from the exterior.
From there, we continued down some of Sorrento’s pedestrian-friendly side streets, which were lined with small shops and outdoor produce stalls. Limoncello seemed to be by far the most popular souvenir, so if you’re looking for a taste of the famed lemon liqueur, this is a good place to stock up!
Our last stop of the day were the Cloisters of San Francis, where there was a small art exhibition taking place. These cloisters are also located in small park with great views of the coastline and the Mediterranean Sea, so we enjoyed the views one last time and then it was time to head back.
This is part of our Travel in Italy video series showcasing Italian food, Italian culture and Italian cuisine.

Naples and Capri italy 2008
July 7th 08 trip on Princess cruise
Experience Italy: Sailing in the Bay of Naples
Imagine mooring in harbours where colourful, pastel-hued houses perch on dramatic cliffs and azure waters glisten below; where ancient ruins, fragrant lemon trees, and imposing volcanoes dot the landscape; where sumptuous fresh seafood and exquisite wine await at every port. On a sailing trip in Italy, these dream-like scenarios aren’t too good to be true — they’re par for the course!
It’s no secret that Italy is home to some of the best sailing grounds in the Mediterranean: the country’s warm seas, pleasant climate, and diverse scenery create the perfect conditions for a truly spectacular and unforgettable holiday. What’s more, the coastline is easily accessible from cities like Naples and Salerno, so it’s easy to work a nautical adventure into your holiday if you plan on visiting southern Italy. The only downside? You’ll have a tough time trying to decide where you want to go sailing!
Psst...If you like what you see in this video, you’ll love a sailing trip around the Bay of Naples, where you can visit mainland towns like Amalfi and Sorrento, along with tranquil islands such as Procida and Ischia.
An Italian sailing trip is perfect for both sun-worshippers and adventure-seekers; in between sunbathing on deck and swimming in the Mediterranean Sea, there are plenty of opportunities to explore your surroundings and delve into Italian history and culture. Visit a lemon grove and sample freshly-made limoncello, hike up to the crater rim of Mount Vesuvius, or learn about Pompeii’s haunting history — with so much to see and do in this region, you’ll have a hard time staying put (but you’ll still find you have loads of time to relax and unwind, too).

======================================
Located in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum (Italian: Ercolano) was an ancient Roman town destroyed by volcanic pyroclastic flows in 79 AD. Its ruins are located in the commune of Ercolano, Campania, Italy.
As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is famous as one of the few ancient cities that can now be seen in much of its original splendour, as well as for having been lost, along with Pompeii, Stabiae, Oplontis and Boscoreale, in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 that buried it. Unlike Pompeii, the deep pyroclastic material which covered it preserved wooden and other organic-based objects such as roofs, beds, doors, food and even some 300 skeletons which were discovered in recent years along the seashore. It had been thought until then that the town had been evacuated by the inhabitants.
Herculaneum was a wealthier town than Pompeii, possessing an extraordinary density of fine houses with, for example, far more lavish use of coloured marble cladding.

About Positano:
Positano is a beautiful cliffside village on the Amalfi Coast in southern Italy. The village is hemmed in by mountains and remains physically unspoilt.
We arrived on a very crowded local SITA bus from Sorrento and walked down into the village, enjoying spectacular views as we descended. You can also arrive by road from Salerno or by ferry from Naples. If you’re driving, be aware that the coastal road can get very busy and parking can be a problem.
The majolica-tiled dome of the Church of Santa Maria Assunta can be seen from every corner of the village. This pretty church is often depicted on local ceramic wares and it’s also a popular subject in paintings. And, with its lovely setting right in the centre of Positano, this Church is a favourite destination for weddings on the Amalfi Coast. From the small piazza in front of the church it’s just a short walk down to the popular seafront.
Positano has lots of little stairways connecting steep, narrow streets lined with wisteria-draped hotels, smart boutiques and cafés.
The steep streets mean that getting around on foot can be tiring, especially if it’s hot.
We visited in April, when it’s cooler - and avoided high summer, when Positano is overcrowded with visitors.
The village attracts a lot of tour groups and prices can be higher here than elsewhere on the coast.
This area is famous for its ceramics.
The local earth consists of clay and limestone and is rich in volcanic content, making it ideal for ceramic production.
Here you’ll find lots of shops selling ceramic wares with designs inspired by the colours of the Amalfi Coast: the area is also famous for its lemons and vibrant yellows are prominent.
When you’ve finished with the shops, why not take a look at
the “Grotta Fornillo”, a roadside cave on the edge of Positano.
This miniature village is “Il Presepe di Positano”, or “the Nativity of Positano”.
At the bottom of the village is a popular pebble beach, the Spiaggia Grande.
At 300 meters long, the beach is one of the longest on the Amalfi Coast.
If you fancy exploring further afield, you can catch a small “Sea Taxi boat from here to one of the other nearby bays.
From this this beach you can some of the watch towers that have guarded the stunning Amalfi coast against raiders for hundreds of years.
The raiders may have gone, but Positano has a special beauty that will most likely make you want to come back.

VISIT AMALFI COAST AND POSITANO (SOUTHURN ITALY)
AMALFI COAST
The Amalfi Coast, Italy (la Costiera Amalfitana) is a beautiful and renowned stretch of mountainous coastline south of Naples, in Campania. The southern end of the Bay of Naples stretches out in a steep and rocky peninsula that reaches towards the Isle of Capri. Sorrento, another major tourist destination, looks back towards Naples from the north coast of the peninsula. The southern side of the peninsula is dotted with picturesque villages and towns clinging giddily to cliffs; this is what is known as the Amalfi Coast.
For decades these fishing villages, stacked precariously above the sea, have been one of Italy's major tourist attractions. Nowadays the area's principal industry is tourism, and a staggering number of hotels have been squeezed into the restricted spaces of the small towns. Well-accustomed to catering for affluent foreign tourists, the area offers a generous selection of restaurants, bars, boutiques, boat trips.. just about anything self-indulgent that you can spend money on.
Although prices are generally high, there are affordable options in the area. Some visitors find the region over-developed and over-crowded, especially in the height of summer, but for many the little boutiques, ceramics shops and the welcome laid on for tourists is part of the coastline's charm. The views are undeniably breathtaking, and away from the main road and the tourist hot-spots you can still discover the peace that charmed earlier visitors.
POSITANO
Positano is situated in the Campania region of Italy, on the Amalfi Coast. Once a wealthy maritime power, it began the last century as a fishing settlement, and ended it as a popular, and rather chi-chi resort, famous for its hotels and boutiques as well as for the winding stairways that connect the town, and the towering cliffs above. Every inch of land is prized; buildings are stacked up one above the other on the steep slopes, and open areas are intensively cultivated with fruit and vegetables thriving in the fertile volcanic soil.
The mountainous interior of the peninsula rises above the town, and Positano boasts one the world's few 'pierced' mountains; a giant shoulder of rock with a hole punched through it (a miracle performed by the Virgin Mary, according to local folklore).
Positano was once part of the powerful Republic of Amalfi, and played its part in international trading despite the lack of a harbour. Surviving Saracen raids, the town thrived and in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was famous for its trading with the East. Impressive palazzi were built; several are now romantically crumbling, others have been converted into luxury hotels. With the onset of the industrial revolution, harbourless Positano could not compete with rival ports, and had to wait until the birth of the tourist industry to regain its wealthy status.
Top Tourist Attractions in AMALFI COAST/POSITANO :
Town of Sorrento, The pastel colored houses of Positano, Praiano, Town of Amalfi, Heights of Ravello, Positano streets, Hike the Path of the Gods

The perfect boat tour to Capri from Positano ! Walked around visited amazing beaches and Gardens of Augustus which had amazing views of the ocean, boated by the blue grotto but could not go in but got taken to different grotto's with beautiful colours for free! The quiet beaches are just outside the bus stop Marina piccola which is also where our boat dropped us of for the day, the main boat stop Marina grande is on the other side of the island! Definitely worth the money, we signed up for the boat trip just along the beach of Positano! After the boat took us back to Positano we hiked up the famous Positano stairs for dinner , xoxo.

Capri's fabled beauty and refined hedonism has charmed them all, from Roman rulers and Russian revolutionaries to Hollywood legends. It’s the perfect microcosm of Mediterranean appeal, a fusion of glittering grottoes and coves, Roman ruins and chichi piazzas.
Already inhabited in the Palaeolithic period, the island was briefly occupied by the Greeks before Emperor Augustus made it his private playground and Tiberius retired here in AD 27. Its modern incarnation as a tourist centre dates from the early 20th century.
It’s also a favourite day-trip destination and a summer favourite of holidaying VIPs. Inevitably, the two main centres, Capri Town and its uphill rival Anacapri, are almost entirely given over to tourism, with the high prices that follow. But explore beyond the designer boutiques and cafes and you’ll find that Capri retains an unspoilt charm, with grand villas, overgrown vegetable plots, sun-bleached, peeling stucco and banks of brilliantly coloured bougainvillea.

Amalfi to Positano Ferry ride, Amalfi Coast, Italy
Video of the morning ferry ride from Amalfi to Positano on the Italian Amalfi Coast in South Italy, on a cool, cloudy, windy Spring day in May.
Departing from Amalfi port, the journey was quite varied because of the weather which meant we had both pretty sunny moments as well as choppy boat rocking waves which lead to super-minor sea sickness / motion sickness, and a mild soaking from the ocean waves & sea spray. It was an interesting boat ride!
In this video you will see the coastal views, the lush green mountains, some caves, a fort, and the beautiful turquoise color of the sea water as we approached the dramatic village/ little town of Positano and docked in its harbor.
I incorporated some footage from the journey from Positano to Amalfi on the ferry back to Amalfi in the late afternoon so if you see some sudden changes in the light from clip to clip, changing from bright morning light to a golden afternoon light - that would be why!

Blue Grotto, Capri, Italy - Relaxing boat tour. Grotto Azzurra
The Blue Grotto (Grotto Azzura in Italian) is Capri’s jewel in the crown. This legendary sea cave was once the Roman Emperor Tiberius’ private swimming pool. Bathed in an ethereal blue light it is your must see place to visit on the island.
Thinking of visiting the Grotto on a visit to Capri to see the natural phenomenon for yourself or just fancy watching a tranquil, relaxing boat ride, whichever I hope you enjoy the film.
How to get there: The Grotto is located on the north west coast of the island. If you don’t have a car you can either take a boat from Marina Grande or travel there by bus.
A boat tour from Marina Grande will cost you about 26 euros, comprising the trip to the cave, the rowing boat that takes you into the cave and your entrance fee. Allow about an hour and a half. At peak times there can be quite a line to enter the cave. There are various boat tours including a tour around the island.
Alternatively you can travel there by bus. Buses run from the port Marina Grande to Capri or Anacapri. The bus from Marina Grande to Anacapri takes about 20 minutes and 15 minutes from there to the Grotto. Or why not take the funicular up to Capri and catch the bus from there. The ticket office is to the right as you get off the ferry. A day pass “unico Capri” costs 6.90 euros and covers all your island travel except the Monte Solaro cable car. Take the bus to Anacapri, change then take the bus to the Blue Grotto, you can’t miss it as it is the last stop. Walk down the stairs and wait for your rowing boat. If you travel by bus you wont have to hang around waiting for the rest of your party to go into the grotto.
Once you have enjoyed the grotto take some refreshments at the kiosk up above the grotto before taking the bus back to Capri or Anacapri to carry on your sightseeing.
Tips:
Best light is apparently noon until 2pm. Queues reduce after 3pm but the sea can get rougher and sometimes is too rough to enter. Go early to avoid the lines.
You will need to climb into a row boat. Each rowing boat only holds 3 passengers and the oarsman. You buy your entrance ticket at a floating ticket office first, no credit cards accepted so have enough cash. Be prepared to enter the cave you will need to lie down flat in the boat, the boatman will then pull the boat into the narrow opening of the cave with a chain. It’s a tight squeeze.
The rowing boat costs 13 euros each, which includes the 4 euro entrance fee and don’t forget to tip your guide, be prepared for 5 – 10 euros, it will make him happy.
Money saving tip:
Entrance to the Grotto is free on the first Sunday of every month.
The History Bit:
The cave was discovered by the Romans and used by Emperor Tiberius’ as a private bathing pool and temple. A number of statues have been found in the cave and some are still believed to be lying at the bottom of the cave. The cave became abandoned as locals feared it was inhabited by spirits until it was rediscovered in 1826 and popularised by the writer August Lopisch and painter Ernst Fries.
The Science Bit:
Why does the water inside the cave appear to be bathed in an ethereal blue light?
There are actually two entrance holes into the cave, one directly below the other. The small top hole is the boat entrance to the cave. The lower hole is below the line of the water allows light into the cave which lights up the bottom of the cave, but filters out all but the blue light giving the water it’s brilliant emerald blue colour.

Naples trip 2019
Check out the highlights of my Naples weekend trip in the summer of 2019 ????Together with my friends we explored the city of pizza, pasta and Maradona. We made our own pizza, and went on a boat trip to explore the Naples bay. With our very Italian captain we sailed to the colourful Procida island. During the day it was about 30 degrees, so perfect conditions to spent time on The Gulf of Naples.
