Capri Day Trip

We will be making a one day visit to Capri in mid-May (from Positano via Hydrofoil ex Sorrento) and would love advice on "must see" stops and a nice spot for lunch.

We enjoyed our excursion to the Blue Grotto. Nice boat ride; climbing into the little rowboat; lieing down to make it through the opening. It really is blue. It was nothing astounding, but fun and interesting. A lot of people don't get the chance to get into the grotto as the seas must be fairly calm and you need a sunny day for the blue effect.

I enjoyed the leisurely 45-minute stroll to the Roman ruins of Villa Jovis and its magificent views. Slight incline, requires comfortable walking shoes.

The Church of San Michelle has an exquisite tiled floor depicting the story of Adam & Eve fleeing from Eden. You can't walk on it, you have to walk on boards around the perimeter. Worth a visit. Also, when in either Positano or Sorrento, make sure you get a pair of sandals made to order. You will treasure them forever.

You can have a very enjoyable and reasonable lunch at Casa Nova, via le Botteghe, 46, Isle of Capri. Ask for Pietro and tell him Cindy Kane of Connecticut recommended his restaurant. I assure you, he will treat you like royalty!

We bought an all-day bus pass and wandered around. Enjoyed the ski-lift type single chair lift out of Anacapri to the highest point on the island. There's a small cafe and terrace at the top. Wonderful 360-degree views.
