Its just nice to see the light coming from down outside into the cave under water - thats it.įor what exactly did we pay 14 bugs per Person for entrance? This is a rip off, since there is not even a light installation or something that gives me a feeling of a value on the other side (management).its just costs for a bit nature. Its a really short thing, not a long channel you pass along and things to be discovered. At the end, even the cave on itself is pretty nice, but really nothing special - if you travel around a little bit and have seen other really impressive things. Especially cause the other „capitains“ also sang around in the same cave, misstonic, loud, rough, disturbing. So to be honest: this yelling around and singing one minute later in the cave was totally absurd, not fitting and in my eyes, disturbing enorousely. I said: but i pay allready 14 for the entrance, wich „service“ are you talking about? „Oh, this is for my towing and singing“ he said. First: he put all attention on the other three girls on the boat and was very careless about my girlfriend, sat almost on her hand and if she would not have cared, she’ d probably gotten a row stick in her face, second: we paid the 14 Euro entrance and the first thing the unfriendly rowing man made clear: this is exclusive service. This has - most of all- to do with the fact, that our guide was a rip off and very unsymphatic. But the visit at the blue cave was a waste of energy, money and time. Mentioned it as „one of the most gamous caves in the world“ (Marco Polo Guide), i had really expected to see something quiet impressive. I had other & more important things to do than blowing a whistle or barking orders at someone enjoying their deserved & undoubtedly hard earned holiday, so it really annoys me and feels like the 'authorities are taking the *iss' when they haven't provided enough seating and then get the local police to order you to 'stand up' 'no sit there'.when in reality the whole reason they're there in the first place is because of tourists, spending their pounds, their hard earnt buck or dollar.Ī few more drinking water fountains in the town of Capri wouldn't go a miss.Ī beautiful place that could do better on the tourist service front. Now having just retired from the police in England I can't remember telling tourists to move on, I always wanted visitors to where I worked (including the beautiful Cotswolds in Gloucestershire) to see my county for what it was and to portray it in the best possible light. When challenged you're told 'it's the city rules' and one officer pointed to the town hall in the square. The one thing that we noted was that there weren't many seats or benches and if you sat in a public area on steps then you were quickly moved on by the Municipal Police, of which there are a few. The small shops and boutiques offering anything from bangles and jewellery to high end clothing & leather products.
The narrow streets meander around the town, giving refreshing shade from the hot sun and make it a very pleasant experience to explore.
I suppose when some restaurants & hotels are displaying photographs of celebrities like Sylvester Stallone, Rod Stewart you kind of know and understand that the prices are going to be as steep as the pathway from the port to the town. The restaurant charged a cover charge of €4 per person which I'm sure is standard on Capri, where it really does feel like they want to extract every last single euro out of the tourists, a sentiment echoed by other diners whom we spoke to. We had a pleasant enough meal in Capri, a restaurant with a really good view of the port below. The staff in the funicular aren't particularly helpful & 'yap' at the tourists in order to keep the queues moving, face masks at half mast. We took the funicular up and walked down. It doesn't take long and it is certainly alot easier than the steep climb. The funicular (€2.20 per person/pet) is by far the easiest way to get to the hilltop town of Capri from the main port. If you're staying in Sorrento or Napoli it really is worth visiting but do remember that it isn't cheap. As we arrived by ferry from Sorrento the view from the sea was so impressive and we really got to see the topography of the island, the lush green slopes, the craggy rocks overlooking the sea, the houses wedged in to every last available space all very impressive. Capri is one of the most beautiful places that we have visited on our holiday so far.
