DAY 3: 

CAPRI

After breakfast we walk down to the Positano marina to catch our private boat to Capri. This excursion lasts about 8 hours. Beverages & snacks are provided on the boat. The boat is very comfortable with ample deck space, seating and a bathroom. Along the way you will see part of the Amalfi Coast before you begin to see the Faraglioni rocks of the “blue island” of Capri. Our cruise takes us through the famous grottos and around Capri to admire the beautiful island. 
 

Capri is divided between two sides of the island, Capri and Anacapri.  We arrive in Marina Grande and you can take a taxi to either side. On the Capri side is La Piazetta and Via Camarelle where there is a lot of shopping, alleyways and great restaurants. You can also visit the Augustus Gardens, stroll the Pizzolungo trail to the natural Arch or tour the ancient Roman ruins of Tiberius' villas. On the Anacapri side, you can also take the chairlift to the top of Monte Solaro, visit the Church of St Michele Arcangelo (hand-painted floor depicting Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden) and Villa San Michele. 

We will meet back at the marina later that afternoon. After returning to Positano, enjoy dinner on your own. Plenty of great restaurants near the villa or in the center of Positano. (Additional cost for this day: Lunch in Capri. Dinner in Positano. Taxi in Capri.)
