More About Capri

One of the highlights of visiting Capri is going up in the chair lift.  You get stunning views across the island, across the Bay of Naples and back out to sea.  To get there, you must catch one of the regular buses up to AnaCapri, along the 'mama-mia' road which is named as such because of the sheer drops beneath you as the bus ascends.

The chair lifts are single person and look a touch scary if this is your first time, but there are people around to help you onto and off the lift at either end.  The views are spectacular, as you can see. 

If you like your walking, there are a couple of tracked routes available for you to descend back to AnaCapri.

There is a wonderful hidden garden with a stunning stone built gazebo.  I am sure the gardens looked far more spectacular at one time, but they have been neglected over time which is a real shame.  However it is still worth the diversion and views of the faraglioni fingers.

This was a very fitting end to our stay on the island, as we then headed off to the Amalfi Coast.
