| Capri. |
At the top of the funicular you'll find Capri proper -- clustered around the tiny Piazza Umberto I, filled with hundreds of day trippers and their guides, flocks of sun umbrellas open against the heat of the day, and plenty of Italian waiters ready to serve you
un cafe, or perhaps
un affogatto.
 |
| Crowds in the Piazza. |
This is the Capri where foreign writers, artists and bohemians, liked to spend their winters, get into trouble, conduct love affairs, dabble in politics. As the ancient Romans did too, and if you have time you can take a few hours to hike up to the Villa of Tiberius on the spectacular headland facing the mainland.
Or just wander around the streets od old Capri, where wine bars and high-end fashion shops are wedged in beside small restaurants and salumerias, tiny chapels and hidden courtyards.

When you have explored enough of Capri, you'll need that taxi again, because...there's more....
