CAPRI

In the gulf of Naples we find the Isle of Capri, the Pearl of the Mediterranean Sea. Capri, situated in an emerald and turquoise sea, the Island of Dreams, has enchanted many people with the incomparable beauty of its rugged landscape, the mildness of its climate, the richness of its vegetation and its characteristic small white houses. Leaving Rome in a southerly direction you take the "Highway of the Sun" crossing the fertile Roman countryside and the area known as "Castelli Romani". Approximately halfway along the highway you will be able to see the Abbey of Montecassino noted for its famous battle and complete destruction during the Second World War. Arriving in Naples you will board the Jet boat for the 45 minute crossing to Marina Grande, the port of Capri. Here you will then board motorboats and enter the Blue Grotto (if weather and sea conditions permit).

Minibuses are then used for a panoramic tour eventually arriving at Anacapri situated at 280 metres above sea level from where you will have a wonderful view of the Bay of Naples. After lunch in a local restaurant, you will then have some free time to take unforgettable photographs and purchase local products before returning to Marina Grande to board the boat back to Naples.

Entering the port of Naples, don't miss this opportunity to admire the splendid Maschio Angioino (a fortress of the 12th century), the Certosa of San Martino and the Royal Palace. After disembarking you will then take the coach for the return journey of approx 3 hours, back to Rome.

Useful Information: During the journey from Rome to Naples, it will not always be possible to make a stop, but the boats for Capri have bar and restroom facilities. We would recommend that you wear comfortable clothes and especially comfortable shoes to assist you when boarding the boats. During high season there may be delays in boarding the boats and minibuses and we ask you to pay particular attention to your guide to avoid getting separated from your group.

N.B. If the sea conditions are so bad as to not permit the boats to leave from Naples to Capri, it will be necessary to substitute this tour with the tour of Pompeii (tour 15) and the difference in price will be reimbursed.
