What’s the experience like?

“You ever seen water this blue?” That’s what our guide, Paolo, said as we pulled away from the dock in Capri. I honestly hadn’t. The boat was smaller than I pictured—just us and another couple, sun already warming the wooden seats. There was this faint smell of salt and diesel, and Paolo kept pointing out little caves in the cliffs, each with its own story. We ducked into one where the light turned everything turquoise for a second. It was loud in there—waves echoing off rock—and I had to laugh because my hat nearly blew off twice.

After about an hour on the water (I checked my phone because I lost track), we hopped into a minibus that zigzagged up to Anacapri. It’s quieter up there—fewer crowds, just old men playing cards outside a bar and laundry flapping above narrow streets. Our guide told us about Mount Solaro but I chickened out on the chair lift (next time). Instead, we wandered through alleys smelling like coffee and lemon peel, stopping for a pastry that was so sweet it made my teeth ache—in a good way.

Then Capri town itself—honestly, it felt like another world compared to Anacapri. The Piazzetta was buzzing, people everywhere with sunglasses and tiny dogs. We followed our guide down these winding alleys past boutiques I couldn’t afford (but window shopping counts). The real highlight? The Gardens of Augustus. You get this wild view of the Faraglioni rocks—like postcards but real—and I just stood there for a minute not saying much. Still think about that view sometimes when I’m stuck in traffic at home.
