Gems of the Mediterranean Sea - Capri (Part 2)

I am a big fan of Italy, I love their food, wine, history, music, arts, architecture and most of all their entire hedonistic lifestyle, "La Dolce Vita". This is a really wonderful country with all sorts of landscapes from high, rocky mountains to breath-taking beaches and seasides. I love walking on the ancient, cobble-stoned streets and watch locals sipping their coffee and discussing matters of life. I love the adorable markets and the tiny little shops as well as the checkered-clothed tables on the streets in front of restaurants...

Back in 2008, I had a chance to visit the islands and coastline in the Gulf of Salerno during an amazing trip with a small sailing boat. It was really great, one of the best excursions of my life. You have a totally different view of these little towns and villages if you look at them from the sea. It is really amazing how high they have built houses up on the rocks. Though it was a long time ago, I can still vividly remember the picturesque towns, the wonderful view of the horizon, the squeaking sound of the seagulls, the incomparable smell of salty water and the gorgeous taste of Italian red wine. I would like to share these memories with you in this series of posts. (Sorry, blame it on the winter that I became nostalgic and started to watch holiday photos... 😊😊😊)

I have found this map here, it shows basically all the places I have visited and going to talk about in this series:

I already wrote three posts about Amalfi (you can read them here, here and here) and one about Positano (you can read that one here). This post is the second about Capri (you can read the first one here).

I have promised some "daylight" pictures of this wonderful lush green island. Probably the best way to start looking around is taking the chair-lift to the top of the mountain. You have an amazing view from up there (and the journey until you reach there is also breath-taking, you just fly above wonderful gardens and huge villas while surrounded by the sparkling blue sea and grey rocks).

There are awesome villas on the hill, just imagine winning the lottery and spending your summers here... 😂

A place where kiwis just grow above your head... LOL

Or the signs are made of beautiful hand-made ceramics:

And there are bougainvillaeas​ everywhere:

Limoncello is a favourite tourist attraction on this island, too:

After leaving the island we sailed around the Faraglioni - I have to admit they are as wonderful in the daylight as in the evening... And they are huuuuuge... 😎

Stay tuned, in my next post we are heading towards Sorrento... 😊
