Private Capri Walking Tour (Vacations To Go)

Set out for a walking tour of Capri's highlights.Take the funicular up to Capri town, explore the lanes and shops. Whether or not you buy designer fashions, the boutiques of Capri are part of the scenery. Window displays often change each day and are worth glancing at. Begin by heading downhill from the Piazzetta towards the Quisisana (Capri's grandest hotel), past jewellery and clothes shops. Turning to the left, you pass a couple more little designer shops and some cafes. Leaving the shops and cafes behind, the lane becomes more peaceful as you pass smart hotels set back from the footpath, set in the trees and down the slopes. The walk is bright with flowers and there are plenty of benches to rest on. The path continues to Punta Tragara, where there is a little terrace above the Faraglioni.

The Faraglioni are Capri's most famous landmarks. They are triangular rocky outcrops reaching into the sea, and are featured in most of the island's best views. There are several good spots around Capri town for admiring the rocks and taking good photographs of friends and family in the foreground for a classic Capri photograph. If you're prepared to walk uphill, you can reach the cliff-eyrie of the Belvedere Cannone. The pretty gardens called the Giardini di Augusto are full of flowers with several panoramic spots. A more secluded park, nearer the rocks, is located alongside the Certosa di San Giacomo. Right above the Faraglioni is the belvedere of Punta Tragara - and another great viewpoint is just around the corner of the headland.

Have some time off in Capri's town square .The Piazzetta is where everyone comes to see and be seen. Once the daytrip crowds have gone, Capri's smartest guests and residents emerge to greet acquaintances and promenade in their finery. Even without recognizing the Italian famous faces, it makes great entertainment watching the parade of fashions ranging from the elegant to the indecent. It's like an old-fashioned theater, where the audience make up part of the show.
