Marina Piccolo

On the isle of Capri.  19th century painting by Albert Bierstadt from this website.  The island is much more developed today.  The main town is located on the plateau to the right of the large mountain in the center of the picture.

Italian Passageways II

And now on to Capri.  Capri does not have cars and there is only one road used for buses and taxis so the paths and passageways are even more important than on the Amalfi Coast.

The center of the town can get a little crowded.  This is one of the two routes from our hotel to the central plaza.

Our favorite restaurant, Da Tonino, is about a 20 minute walk out into the "country".  This is some of the route:

The paths wander all around the island.  Note the lamp poles which makes for easy walking in the evening.

And if you want a quieter area just head over to Anacapri, the other town on the island.

If you don't want to take the taxi or the bus you can always walk the path from Anacapri back to Capri!

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:

A park.

You need to be in shape to walk some of the paths.
