Typical Excursion
There is plenty to keep you occupied on a shore excursion to Capri. For lovers of history and culture, pay a visit to the gorgeous churches and other architectural wonders. The Church of San Costanzo, a sweet little Byzantine style Church dating back before year 1000 is worth a visit, as well as Villa Jovis, 12 seaside villas built by Emperor Tiberius around 30 A.D. Or why not spend an hour or two exploring the magnificent Castello Barbarossa, an ancient Byzantine castle standing on a cliff about 400 metres above sea level. For some natural jewels, visit the magical Blue Grotto. This stunning grotto is 50m long and 30m wide, the reflection of the sun bounces off the walls of the cave, giving the water a gorgeous illuminated glow. Another of Mother Nature’s treasures includes 200m high Natural Arch, which will have you in awe. There are also plenty of other rock formations scattering around the island for you to admire. Or spend a day wandering the town of Anancapri, the highest town on the island. Here, pick of a souvenir for loved ones back home or treat yourself to traditional lunch at one of the many cafes lining the main street. For a more intensive shopping experience, drop by Via Camerelle, Capri’s most fashionable shopping street with all the designer labels. Or simply sunbathe on one of Capri’s many beautiful beaches - the Faraglioni beach and Marina Picolla Beach are favourites.
Your tastebuds will also be spoilt for choice on a Capri stopover. Sample some Mediterranean delicacies at one of the many restaurants. For a great view of the island, head to La Terrazza di Lucullo Anacapri, where you will also have the opportunity to taste some regional dishes packed with flavour. Another favourite is the Bagni di Tiberio, a little seafood restaurant literally overlooking the sea. By night, the island comes alive with tourists looking for a good time. Head to the Al Piccolo Bar, where you can enjoy some good music and a cocktail or three. Or enjoy a night under the stars at the Lanterna Verde Piano Bar! There are plenty of other options.
