I can’t wait to share with you all about Capri, a little island in Italy that has so much more to offer than what meets the eye. Many tourists come to visit the island and stay just for a day, but I have been lucky enough to discover its hidden treasures, and let me tell you, they are something to behold.

On my first visit, I expected to find the usual sights, but as I explored further, I discovered the most breathtaking views, from the ancient Phoenician Steps to the stunning Green Grotto (different from the Blue Grotto we wrote about previously) that is a must-see for anyone visiting the island. And who could forget the charming little beaches like Le Ondine and chic beach clubs like Il Riccio?

But it’s not just the sights that make Capri special; it’s the whole experience. The people, the food, the wine, the culture. Each little alleyway holds something new to discover, like hidden restaurants and cozy hotels that make you feel like you’re living like a local.

Capri is a place that has truly captured my heart and shown me more than I ever expected. And I’m excited to share it all with you so that you too can experience the magic of this little island in Italy.

THINGS TO DO

Alright, let’s talk about the things to do on this amazing little island of Capri. There’s just so much to explore, and I can’t wait to share my personal favorites with you.

First up, walking up the Phoenician Steps from the port to the top of the mountain is an absolute must-do. The views from the top are breathtaking, and it’s a great way to get some exercise while taking in the island’s beauty.

Next, if you’re in the mood for a swim and a light seaside lunch, Le Ondine Beach Club (da Gemma) is the perfect spot. But if you’re looking for a more chic beach experience, Il Riccio won’t disappoint, a stone’s throw from the Blue Grotto. And let me tell you, chartering a boat for a half-day tour around the island, including a swim in the Green Grotto, is an experience you’ll never forget.

For those who want to take it easy and relax, the pool at Da Gelsomino is the perfect spot to soak up the sun and unwind. And for those who want a little adventure, exploring the philosophy park with its amazing views is a must-do.

For something truly different, visit Villa San Michele.  You will have new respect for the power of one person with a dream, and time, and money.  Stop there during your hike up the Phoenician stairs.

There’s just something about Capri that makes you want to keep exploring, keep discovering. And these are just a few of the many things to do on this magical little island.
