Capri Island | Finally made it to my dream island

The Blue Grotto in Capri is totally worth waking up early for! Spent three romantic days with friends on this Italian island - here's my lazy traveler's guide 👀 save it 💙

🌊 Must-visit attractions:
1️⃣ Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra)
Pro tip📖 Arrive at the dock before 8am - expect at least 1 hour wait in summer. The unreal blue seawater inside completely lives up to its "Seven Natural Wonders" reputation! Remember €5 cash for the boatman's tip💰

2️⃣ Piazza Umberto I
The heart of Capri surrounded by luxury shops and Instagram-famous restaurants. Sip on lemon🍋 granita while people-watching - pure bliss🍋

3️⃣ Gardens of Augustus
Only €1.5 entry! Instagram-worthy📷 cactus garden with panoramic views of Faraglioni rocks, especially breathtaking at sunset🌄

4️⃣ Mount Solaro
€12 one-way cable car - ride up then hike down. 360° views of Naples Bay and the entire island⛰️

🛥️ Transportation tips📖:
1-hour ferry from Naples (€23 fast ferry). Round-trip tickets recommended - last return at 18:30

🍴 Food recs:
✔️ Ristorante Le Grottelle (Via Arco Naturale): Cliffside restaurant with amazing seafood pasta
✔️ Gelateria Buonocore (Via Vittorio Emanuele): Best gelato🍦 on the island - pistachio flavor is divine

💡 Pro tips:
▪️ Taxis🚗 only accept cash💰 (minimum €25 per ride)
▪️ Blue Grotto may close due to waves - allocate 2 days⏰
▪️ Bring reef🪸 shoes - pebble beaches hurt bare feet👀
