Meet Anacapri !!

Anacapri is the second town located on the island of Capri, but it is different. Not so far away from the highest peak of this silvery-green rock island in the midst of the sea, it is a white-washed assembling of typical houses in the midst of splendid countryside (which, by the way, now in April and May is covered by yellow flowering ginestra and Mediterranean macchia like euforbia). So going up to Anacapri from Capri Town takes you up in a somewhat fresher climate, which might be a boon on some hot days. It takes less than ten minutes by taxi parking in Via Roma, not far from the Piazzetta next to the pharmacy. Or you might choose to take the bus, which also stop in Via Roma, the busses are called "Unico Capri" - click here for the timetable.  A one-way ticket is EUR 1.80 approx. while the taxi fare is usually EUR 15. There are actually many open taxis here in Capri, meaning there is the roof, but the cars are open on all three sides where the passengers sit. And here is what you get to see when you go up to Anacapri !!

Yellow patches of meadow flowers but also macchia plant, while many deciduous plant leaves come to life again in April, here we are looking towards Capri

fresh green foliage everywhere you look

Up there in front of us, Anacapri is located ...

A road with towering pine trees leads us to central Piazza Vittoria in Anacapri

Always a landmark sight when driving along Via G. Orlandi, behind the fence is the garden of the hotel Caesar Augustus, with its statue of Augustus ...

From Piazza Vittoria onwards, you could follow Via G. Orlandi towards the center of the old town and its church Santa Sofia. It is a pedestrian zone, and quite a number of shops are lined up here.

This is Via G. Orlandi - in April: lined with small stores and bakeries, restaurants and cafes
