Travel Diary: The Mediterranean Gem, Capri Island

Hello! Today, I’d like to share my travel experience to Capri Island after taking a ferry from Naples. Nestled in the blue waters of the Mediterranean, this island has long been a favorite retreat for European aristocrats and remains a must-visit romantic destination for travelers worldwide.

🚤 1. Departure from Naples!

Capri Island is easily accessible by ferry from Naples or Sorrento, taking about 40–60 minutes. The moment I stepped off the boat onto the pier, I was greeted by a breathtaking view of cobalt-blue waters harmonizing with white buildings.

🏘️ 3. Anacapri – A Relaxing Village Stroll

Located at a higher elevation on the island, Anacapri offers a quieter and more peaceful atmosphere compared to the bustling Capri Town.
• Strolling through quaint alleyways
• Exploring local shops
• Admiring the emerald sea from the viewpoint
Every moment felt like walking through a painting.

One highlight was taking the **chairlift** up to Monte Solaro’s summit, where the panoramic view was an unforgettable experience you must have in Capri.

🍋 4. Capri Lemons and Limoncello

Capri is also famous for its lemons. I tried the **Limoncello (lemon liqueur)** and sweet lemon gelato made from large, fragrant lemons. Enjoying these treats under the sunny skies of the island made them even more special.

📌 Travel Tips

✔️ Visit the Blue Grotto in the morning for the most vibrant water colors.
✔️ Comfortable shoes are a must – there are plenty of hills and stairs.
✔️ During peak season, ferry tickets and tours sell out quickly, so book in advance.

💙 Final Thoughts

Capri Island is not just a tourist destination; it’s a place where the beauty of nature and tranquility come alive. From the crystal-clear sea and the mysterious Blue Grotto to picturesque villages and the sweet scent of lemons, every moment was perfect.

👉 If you’re planning a trip to Italy, I highly recommend spending at least a day on Capri Island. 🌊🍋✨
