Capri and Positano with Private Boat - Full Day from Capri

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. An island that offers a landscape of wild beauty sculpted by wind, sea and the hand of man, this is Capri. With a precipitous, jagged coast, and encircled by the famous faraglioni (sea stacks), enormous and uniquely-shaped boulders, and by numerous caves that tell of evocative plays of light. The most famous of these caves is the Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto), closely connected to the history of tourism in Capri. The island continues to be both a legend and a favorite destination for travelers, intellectuals and the international jet-set - "performing" at any given time in the legendary piazzetta, the real-time theater of the island's 'Dolce Vita'.

2. Seen from the sea, Positano is set in a dramatic vertical panorama of colors; the green of the Monti Lattari, the white, pink, and yellow of the Mediterranean houses; the silvery gray of its pebble beaches; and the blue of the sea. In ancient times, a Turkish boat became beached just off the shores of what has since come to be known as Positano. Aboard the ship, there was a painting of the Virgin Mary. The captain heard the painting whisper "pose, pose" ('set me down, set me down') and obediently, threw the image into the sea. Miraculously, the ship floated free and was saved. The locals built a Church on the spot where the painting washed ashore, interpreting the episode as a sign that the Virgin had chosen their town as a resting place.

About Capri

Capri is a steep limestone island in the Bay of Naples, known for its sea grottoes, rock stacks and villas, and the terraced town above the harbour.

Capri rises from the sea off the Sorrentine peninsula, with two towns on its saddle: Capri itself, whose small square, the Piazzetta, is lined with cafés, and Anacapri, higher and quieter on the western side. The Roman emperor Augustus liked the island and Tiberius spent his last years here, and the ruins of his Villa Jovis stand on the eastern cliffs. Ferries and hydrofoils arrive at the Marina Grande.
