One island where you have everything beautiful landscapes,Lust gardens, Blue grotto, Limoncello and also known for their perfumes,Roman water caves and the amazing sunsets, you can see through boat rides, they are pretty reasonable.

It was an ok experience. The chair lift was fun but everything was sooo over priced and very hectic to navigate. The people working on the busses weren’t very nice. The free beach had really nice clear water. It’s filled with pebbles and really hurts your feet. Make sure to bring a mask to the island

A quick ferry ride from Sorrento to the island of Capri. The playground of Roman Emperors, particularly, the lecherous Tiberius. So much to see here that in one day, i did not reach the emperor's villa. However ,the seated cable ride to the top gives amazing views of the sea and Vesuvius on the mainland beyond. The town three quarters of the way downhill where the cable chair ends is very picturesque. Not to worry, the bus took us up to it in the morning and then down again in the afternoon.
A small boat ride finished the day.Then back to Sorrento by ferry. My first visit here.I know where to make time next trip

Must visit island if you in the Sorrento coast area. Spell-bounding views all around the island of caves, grottos, rocks , cliffs cradled within the cover of clouds.
Multiple trips available from Amalfi, Positano, Sorrento, even Napoli.
Beautiful and picturesque!

Picturesque yet very expensive.
Capri is one of the most beautiful places that we have visited on our holiday so far. As we arrived by ferry from Sorrento the view from the sea was so impressive and we really got to see the topography of the island, the lush green slopes, the craggy rocks overlooking the sea, the houses wedged in to every last available space; all very impressive.
If you're staying in Sorrento or Napoli it really is worth visiting but do remember that it isn't cheap. The funicular (€2.20 per person/pet) is by far the easiest way to get to the hilltop town of Capri from the main port. It doesn't take long and it is certainly alot easier than the steep climb. We took the funicular up and walked down. The staff in the funicular aren't particularly helpful & 'yap' at the tourists in order to keep the queues moving, face masks at half mast.
We had a pleasant enough meal in Capri, a restaurant with a really good view of the port below. The restaurant charged a cover charge of €4 per person which I'm sure is standard on Capri, where it really does feel like they want to extract every last single euro out of the tourists, a sentiment echoed by other diners whom we spoke to.
I suppose when some restaurants & hotels are displaying photographs of celebrities like Sylvester Stallone, Rod Stewart you kind of know and understand that the prices are going to be as steep as the pathway from the port to the town.
The narrow streets meander around the town, giving refreshing shade from the hot sun and make it a very pleasant experience to explore. The small shops and boutiques offering anything from bangles and jewellery to high end clothing & leather products. The one thing that we noted was that there weren't many seats or benches and if you sat in a public area on steps then you were quickly moved on by the Municipal Police, of which there are a few. When challenged you're told 'it's the city rules' and one officer pointed to the town hall in the square.
Now having just retired from the police in England I can't remember telling tourists to move on, I always wanted visitors to where I worked (including the beautiful Cotswolds in Gloucestershire) to see my county for what it was and to portray it in the best possible light. I had other & more important things to do than blowing a whistle or barking orders at someone enjoying their deserved & undoubtedly hard earned holiday, so it really annoys me and feels like the 'authorities are taking the *iss' when they haven't provided enough seating and then get the local police to order you to 'stand up' 'no sit there'...when in reality the whole reason they're there in the first place is because of tourists, spending their pounds, their hard earnt buck or dollar.
A few more drinking water fountains in the town of Capri wouldn't go a miss.
A beautiful place that could do better on the tourist service front.
