Capri

The Villa Of Tiberius covered one of the attractions of Capri.  We'll look around a bit more on the island in this post.

We're having lunch west of Sorrento on the mainland.  This view is from the restaurant looking west towards Capri.  The Villa of Tiberius is on the tall spur on the left side of the island.

There's only one landing place on the island, Marina Grande. This photo of the harbor (by Wade48 on flickr) is taken from Anacapri and on the far side of the harbor is the headland on which the Villa of Tiberius is located.

To get to the town of Capri you have to take a funicular railway up the hill. Photo below from Google Images:
When you get off of the funicular you'll be in the crowded town square which is our least favorite part of the island.  Photo from Google Images:
Once you're out of the immediate vicinity of the square things calm down and you are walking on the pathways that thread over the island.  (Photo from Google Images.This is the hotel we stayed at:

  1. Beautiful series, but I'm a little concerned that the "Tour Guide" pictured at the end is giving me an offer I can't refuse! dm
