Capri is a moonstone gem in the middle of the Tyrrhenian sea. It is famous because it is incredibly beautiful, an out-of-this-world land of sea, rocks, and ancient culture. But also because, in the past – and present -, many intellectuals and jet setters spent weeks, months, or a lifetime admiring the natural beauties, the traces of the Ancient Roman paganism, and the delicious Mediterranean food.

Our armchair travel begins in Capri’s famous “piazzetta“. Let’s sit at a cafè and enjoy an afternoon aperitivo: local white wine, a few olives, snacks, and a couple “friselle”.

Finished? Great: just in time to reach the other side of the piazza and enjoy the slow sun dying behind the rocks, framed by white columns. You’ll cherish this sunset forever.

Let’s take a taxi to Anacapri, the other municipality of the island. The golden, fading light will make the small village a dreamy set for us to walk, drink just another tiny glass of wine, and sit for hours chatting and breathing la dolce vita. We will also try something local, a dish of “spaghetti alle vongole e limone“, for example, or juicy mussels and toasted bread.
We will end the night with a glass of ice-cold limoncello, made with the giant, local, and aromatic lemons.
