Excursion Capri, the enchanted isle tour at Naples

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

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 terminal and embark your hydrofoil 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 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 Naples. Upon arrival at the hydrofoil terminal, walk back to the ship.
