When traveling to southern Italy, one must see is the Island of Capri, a simple 40 minute boat ride from Naples Italy, or Napoli. We hope to show you a quick look at what to expect during your travels. 1. Fly to Naples Italy 2. Take a taxi to the "Porto", but negotiate the rate first or make sure the cab driver doesn't hide the meter, Say "turn on the meter". 3. Once at the port purchase a ticket from "SNAV" to Capri. It can be hard to find but look for "Capri" on the ticket window then the word SNAV. 4. Once in Capri, give your bags to the "Porter" and tell them what hotel you are at. 5. We recommend "La Minerva" hotel, small, quite and ridiculously good customer service from Antonia, Luigi, and Marco. 6. Then Go the the arch that says "Funiculare"... that's the cable car up to the "Square". 7. Once in the Capri square, walk out of the Funiculare and up the stairs to the main square and go RIGHT, towards the ticket booth labeled "Anacapri". Buy a ticket for the bus which will take you to up to Anacapri... note, if you don't like heights, sit down on the bus and don't look out the Right side of the bus, it's a crazy high cliff and the bus is a bit precarious. 8. Once in Anacapri the bus will drop you at the main area then to get to the Chair lift to the top, look for or ask for the "seggiovia"... then buy a ticket, only a couple Euro. Then that will take you all the way to the top. FYI, bring a jacket in case you hit clouds on the way up, it can get very chilly! But it's awesome. The view of all of Anacapri and Capri can be seen from up on top of Monte Solaro. Hope this helps your travels.
