The Tour (Tour Code: CA)
No holiday in Sorrento would be complete without a trip to the evocative island of Capri. Sail across the bay of Naples for the start of an unfor?gettable day. For so small an island, about 4 miles long and 2 miles wide, Capri has had much said, sung and written about it.

Itinerary
First you will visit the fabulous villa of Dr. Axel Munthe, a Swedish doc?tor who's best selling book "Story of San Michele" tells of his time on Capri. His villa was built on the remains of Roman ruins and there is a beautiful shady garden with terraces affording splendid views of the island. This is optional, and the entrance fee should be paid to the guide directly. Then you go down to Capri town which is very chic with shops, hotels and restaurants lining the, winding streets. The main square Piazza Umberto I, has a pretty white church and several open-air cafes where you can sit and watch the world drift by. Leading off the square are medieval looking alleyways and arcades full of shops selling the han?dicrafts of the island, clothing, jewellery made from coral and gold, shoes and ceramics. Admire the colourful gardens of Augustus overlooking the famed Faraglioni Rocks and Marina Piccola where Gracie Fields once lived. There is free time for you to go off and admire the elegant boutiques, stroll along the cobbled streets or simply relax on the beach. There is so much to see and do on this tiny island paradise that you will be sorry to leave.
