Excursion Enchanted isle of capri tour at Sorrento

Experience a taste of life on the 'Island of Dreams' during this full-day excursion to Capri. Capri's beguiling combination of fabled beauty and hedonism has charmed Roman emperors, Russian revolutionaries and Hollywood stars for decades. It's the perfect microcosm of Mediterranean appeal - a smooth cocktail of chichi piazzas and cool cafes, Roman ruins and rugged seascapes.

On the southern edge of the Gulf of Naples lies the Isle of Capri, often called the 'Island of Dreams'. Roman emperors Augustus and Tiberius found peace and beauty here, as have the many celebrities who have visited the island. Upon seeing Capri's impressive cliffs and brightly-coloured villas, it's easy to understand the island's universal appeal.

Capri

After meeting your guide on the pier, walk to the hydrofoil/ferry terminal and embark your public hydrofoil/ferry for the scenic cruise to the beautiful 'Blue Island' of Capri. Upon arrival at Capri's Marina Grande, walk to the mini-bus station, then depart for the drive to the upper village of Ana Capri. The drive is via a winding road, and offers magnificent views of the island and the nearby gulf.

Ana Capri

While in Ana Capri, browse the many shops or explore some of the main attractions. Visit the famous Villa San Michelle, or take a ride on the chair-lift to Monte Solaro, the highest point on the island and a favourite of Emperor Augustus. Ample time is made available for lunch in one of the hotels or seaside cafés (al fresco dining is recommended). Next, re-board the mini-bus for the brief drive to lovely Capri Town.

Capri Town

While in Capri Town, feel free to explore the town on your own or follow the guide on the short walk to the Augustus Gardens. From the park's spectacular vantage-point, view the Marina Piccola and the legendary Faraglioni Rocks, three enormous rocks that protrude from the blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Leaving the Augustus Gardens, approximately two hours is yours to have lunch on your own, visit the famous shopping street of Via Camerelle or wander through the central square; or 'Piazzetta'.

Following your visit, re-board the mini-bus for the transfer to the Marina Grande, then embark the hydrofoil for the return ride to Sorrento. Upon arrival at the hydrofoil terminal walk back to the pier and re-board the ship.
