Travel to the Romantic Isle of Capri!

Travel to the Romantic Isle of Capri!

The Romantic Isle of Capri!! Capri is an island located off the coast of Naples in Southern Italy. The Isle of Capri is known for luxurious hotels, exquisite shopping, breathtaking views and most definitely romance. I picked the Isle of Capri as one “The 5 Most Romantic Cities in the World”! In this post I will tell you why but I think the pictures will speak for themselves!

Travel to the Romantic Isle of Capri! Located in the Gulf of Naples in Southern Italy it is filled with beautiful cliffs, hotels and outdoor restaurants!

I first heard of the Isle of Capri from my globetrotting Mother many years ago. Listening to her speak of the views and beauty I knew I had to go there one day. I finally realized that dream while on a Mediterranean Cruise last fall. The cruise ship docked in Naples, Italy. We booked an excursion that included the City of Pompeii, Sorrento and then Capri. A ferry took us across the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Isle of Capri. I cannot even impress upon you the look on my face when I first saw this island! The marina was filled with boats and outdoor cafes and crystal blue sea.  Then, I looked up at the mountains and cliffs all around me!

We only had a few hours on the Isle of Capri so I moved fast! Our tour guide took us up a gondola towards the top of the island. We did a walking tour passing the perfume factory, fancy designer boutiques and historic hotels.

There were sophisticated, well dressed Italians eating at restaurants with quaint patios. And, there were plenty of tourists! Totally understandable since it was September and the weather was perfect. We ended our tour at the top of a park which showed the most notable landmark of the Isle of Capri. These are the limestone crags referred to as sea stacks.

These steep rugged rocks project up out of the Tyrrhenian Sea! I couldn’t stop staring at them. From the park we could also view the winding roads going up the side of the mountains on the Isle of Capri. They reminded me of the Road to Hana in Maui! Amazing views to take in but I would not want to be the one driving!

After I took hundreds of pictures of the limestone crags, I strolled around this lovely island. I window shopped pass the boutiques and bakeries, smelled perfume made right there on the Isle of Capri and viewed a monastery on a cliff with sea views.

There were tourist shops filled with colorful souvenirs and a big white church that I could imagine has held many romantic weddings.

I stared out at the sea, breathed fresh air and was thankful to finally make it to this beautiful island. On my return to the Isle of Capri I plan to stay in one of the luxurious hotels, visit the town of Anacapri in the hills, visit the Blue Grotto and sail around the limestone crags in the sea!

  • Martha’s Vineyard #ᴘʜᴏᴛᴏᴅᴜᴍᴘ 
Trying to focus on something positive & spread some joy on your timeline after the disastrous news yesterday. #roevswadeoverturned 😠😠

***Save & Share for your trip to #marthasvineyard 

Soooooo last summer my husband @parrishu70 and I rented a house 🏡 for a week in Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard. It was the most relaxing 😌 vacation! 

My first stop is always @lookouttavernmv for their warm lobster 🦞 roll. Trust me you will drool and it’s the biggest one I have ever had anywhere!! 

Our routine consisted of morning walks (or runs for him) along the beach 🏖, stopping for iced coffee and breakfast in town along circuit avenue @lindajeansrestaurant is a must!!!

Walking back home past beautiful gingerbread houses and yachts 🛥 (I need one in my life!) to pack up our lunches and snacks for the beach. 

Spending the afternoon on the beach 🏝 there are several to choose from all over the island (see my previous MV guide) or strolling around Edgartown with all the cute shops, discovering the lighthouses on the island AND we even went sailing with @bdtallships it was amazing! 

In the evening we relaxed, got dressed for dinner and headed out. If you love seafood this is the place for you. There are so many great restaurants and outdoor eating, romantic spots. 

Does this sound like a place you would like to vacation? I love #newenglandlife during the summer. The weather is perfect. No humidity! I’m hoping to get back there next summer. Head to my blog (link in profile) for more MV info!

  • #roevswade overturned by Frump’s Ultraconservative Supreme Court. As a physician I could not not speak 🗣 about this. I take care of patient’s till they are 21yo and so many will be affected by this ruling. 

Patients who are teenagers, patients who have been raped, victims of incest, who are not physically or mentally ready to become parents, who find out their fetus has life threatening abnormalities….they will be left without a choice…putting their lives in danger and/or traveling to other states in order to exercise their right to an abortion. 

Gun advocates often say-it doesn’t matter if they enact gun control laws because if a person wants a gun they will find a way to get one. Don’t blame the gun, blame the person. So if that’s the case, if a person wants an abortion, they will find a way to get one even if it’s dangerous and puts their life and the fetus’s life at risk. 

Make this make sense?
I am sick about this. 
I really did not think I would be around to see this law overturned. 
But here we are. 

How are you feeling about this?
