Tours from Sorrento to the Island of Capri To book a tour on the Amalfi Coast contact : IV Travel Capri. is one of the most famous islands in the world and no holiday to the Amalfi Coast would be complete without a trip to the evocative island. This tour offers great value for money and a wonderful, hassle free experience that begins in Sorrento, where we sail across the beautiful bay of Naples for the start of an unforgettable day. For so small an island, about 4 miles long and 2 miles wide Capri has had much said, sung and written about it and there is a lot to see and do on the island. On this tour, we set our sights high and start at the height of the island at the spectacular villa of Dr. Axel Munthe, a Swedish doctor who wrote a best selling biography “ Story of San Michele” that tells of his time on Capri. His villa was built with the remains of Roman ruins and behind the villa there is a beautiful shady garden with terrace offering splendid views of the island. The entrance fee to the garden unfortunately we cannot include in the cost of the tour and if you care to enter the gardens (5 EURO) the entrance fee should be paid directly to the guide. After the villa and the gardens we descend to Anacapri, which is the chic epicentre of Capri with shops, hotels and restaurants. The main square Piazza Umberto I has a beautiful white church and several open-air cafes. in Anacapri, there is time to shop and enjoy a coffee. Leading off the square are medieval looking alleyways and arcades full of shops selling the handicrafts of island, clothing; jewellery made from coral and gold, shoes and ceramics. From here, we admire the colourful gardens of Augustus overlooking the famed Faraglioni Rocks and Marina Piccola where Gracie Fields once lived. There is free time for you to go off and admire the elegant boutiques, stroll along the cobbled streets or simply relax on the beach. There is so much to see and do on this tiny island paradise you will be sorry to leave. |
