Please Follow us on: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook ! In this episode of our podcast, Kimberly and Tommaso share tips on visiting the island of Capri, including accommodations, activities, and dining experiences. They highlight how to make the most of a trip to Capri. Key Points: Planning Your Trip to Capri: Begin looking for accommodations in the summer before your trip, especially if traveling in the summer months. Consider staying slightly away from the main piazza to avoid crowds. Use Kimberly’s tip for navigating crowded areas: designate a meeting spot. The Two Villages on the Island: Capri has two villages: Capri and Anacapri. Anacapri offers a more tranquil experience but still has plenty of choice. Capri is more well-known from its history of a celebrity hotspot, but a lovely village at the same time. Activities and Sights: Take advantage of the island’s many walking paths for stunning views and historical sites. Take a chairlift to the top of Monte Solaro for incredible views. Visit the Gardens of Augustus. Walk Via Krupp, which recently reopened after repairs. Explore Villa Jovis. Walk the Pizzolungo path for the best views of the Faraglioni rocks. Discover the Charterhouse of San Giacomo, a 14th-century monastery. Boating Around Capri: Consider renting a traditional wooden gozzo or choose from a variety of motorboats and sailboats. Private boats stop at the best swimming spots as you cruise around the island. Being on any type of boat provides a unique perspective of the Faraglioni rocks. Capri Cuisine: Capri offers sophisticated dining experiences with beautifully presented dishes. Seafood reigns here but you can find a wide variety to choose from. Capri Rooftop offers a trendy lounge experience with views of the Faraglioni
