Itinerary
Day 1 ARRIVAL SORRENTO – CAPRI – SORRENTO

Upon your arrival in Sorrento reach the hotel on your own and check in (transfer from Naples airport or train station available as an optional extra). In the afternoon enjoy a stunning and exclusive tour in Capri (the tour starts at 15.00 hrs). Playground for everyone from Hollywood stars to the ancient Greeks, Capri is a dazzling gem in the Neapolitan Riviera. You’ll speed across by hydrofoil in the mid-afternoon to pass the evening surrounded by beauty and picture-perfect views doing exactly as you wish. You’ll start with a tour of the island by boat so you can spot the grottoes that have been drawing in visitors for decades. Then, as dusk descends, you’ll be dropped off in Capri town for the evening. Explore the harbor under your own steam, dipping in and out of designer shops as you go. Once you have your bearings, you’ll be able to find somewhere to eat in one of the many upmarket restaurants, or simply opt for a caprese salad – invented here in the 50s. The town is famed for its boutiques, bars, and luxury hotels, and you’ll experience it all under the twinkle of the night sky. You’ll then arrive back in Sorrento at night.
