Later in the day, you may wish to take a gondolier chair lift up the mountain side in Anacapri which offers spectacular views of the islands. Capri is the ‘people watchers’ paradise and you can’t leave without simply sitting in a café for an hour or so and watching the rich and beautiful world stroll by.

It holds ancient sarcophagi, marble sculptures and mosaics.

Day 10

Today you may wish to take a private half day tour up to Ravello. Spend the morning exploring followed by lunch in one of the local restaurants or Hotel Caruso Tel which offer magnificent views over the valley to the Bay of Naples.

The slow uphill drive along a very narrow road passing several vineries and olive factories etc, leads to Ravello, a rural village unspoilt by tourism, perched on top of the mountain cliff situated above Amalfi and Minori. Ravello, being famous for its breath-taking views, natural beauty and ancient monuments are presented at their best in the gardens of Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo. In high season, these gardens are rich in sweet secants of blooming flowers, shadows of flora and perfume of lemons. Apart from the main cathedral, also situated in the square, and a history museum constructed in the basement of the cathedral, there are many other churches to visit given that there used to be a total of over 13 churches in the village.

Along the narrow arcade of Via Roma one will find a few small boutiques, and scattered around the vicinity are some traditional local restaurants with a cuisine quite different from those close to the sea; Cumpà Cosimo, Da Salvatore, Villa Maria, Villa Amore, etc, are all exceptional. Return to the yacht for a rest and some relaxation time and enjoy dinner onboard.
