Axel Munthe from the ruins of the Tiberian villa, the views are among the very best on the island. Make sure to visit the Villa San Michele. It's a romantic dream-come-true in the off-season. In high season there will still be a lot of tourists, but it's possible to wander the labyrinthine alleys and find yourself around true locals. I recommend taking one of the Capri busses to Anacapri, a distinctly more quiet and low key town above the rest of the island. (This is the part of Capri for celebrities and billionaires.) From there you may take the funicular up to the town of Capri where you will find elegant restaurants, designer boutiques and 5-star hotels. The island has inspired writers since Homer who places the mythical Sirens in the sea between Capri and Naples in "The Odyssey." Norman Douglas, Pablo Neruda Graham Greene, Shirley Hazard have all written prolifically from and about Capri.įerries arrive at the Marina Grande. Guests leaving Borgo La Pietraia may take the ferry from Salerno (the Zaha Hadid terminal at the Molo Manfredi dock) to Capri. While we focus on truly local experiences that are enabled by our close relationships in the area, here is a guide to the other must-see sites in this rich region.


Guests of Feast on History's tours often come early and stay after our 8 days together to explore other sites in Campania.
