About this experience
I invite you to visit the most beautiful corner of Italy, which has long attracted travelers with its ancient history, mysteries, and divine landscapes. You will see the two main cities of the island - Capri and Anacapri, enjoy the magnetic views from the top of Mount Solaro, walk through the ancient villa, winding streets, and shady gardens. I will tell you the story of Capri and its famous residents and help you travel back in time: from the Phoenicians, through the Roman era, the times of Queen Giovanna, to the 20th century.
What to expect
Anacapri - ancient villa and luxurious views from Mount Solaro We will sail to Capri on a high-speed passenger ferry, the journey will take only 50 minutes. From Marina Grande pier, we will head to the city of Anacapri in a cabriolet, patronized by St. Michael. You will visit the luxurious San Michele villa of the Swedish doctor Axel Munthe, built in the early 20th century. It is famous for its original interiors, cascading gardens, and an Egyptian sphinx overlooking the Gulf of Naples. I will tell you interesting legends of the villa and the amazing story of Axel Munthe's life. Then you will ascend to the top of Mount Solaro on a suspended chairlift. You will long remember the splendid panorama of the neighboring island of Ischia, the sleeping volcano Vesuvius, and the sister rocks Faraglioni. After the descent, you will visit the church of the Archangel Michael and admire the unique floor maiolica "Expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise".
Capri - shady gardens and alluring scents The second part of the tour is dedicated to Capri, the main city of the island, and its surroundings. You will visit the Cathedral of St. Stephen, the Carthusian Monastery from the time of Queen Giovanna, the legendary perfumery house, and stroll through the famous gardens of Emperor Augustus. I will show you the monument to Lenin hidden under a pine branch and the mosaic dedicated to Maxim Gorky, who loved Capri very much and lived here for quite a long time. You will learn stories, myths, and legends of one of the most beautiful islands in Italy and keep memories of its romantic and serene atmosphere.
