Free fun - take a walk! by goodfish
Capri is not for Couch Potatoes. As what they call a "street" is usually a narrow path that can't accommodate even Italy's impossibly tiny cars, adventurous types will be doing a lot of walking. And a lot of it will be uphill/dowhill and involve lots of steps. This is actually a very good thing as it's a great way to escape the tour group crowds that tend to stay close to (and clog up) the Piazzetta. A ramble away from the center of Capri or Anacapri towns will take you past rustic villas and walled gardens to ancient ruins or breathtaking overlooks along the sea - even to delightful, small cafes that only those willing to invest a little extra effort can get to. Paved walkway, dirt footpath or mountain trail, just point yourself in just about any direction and you'll stumble into something amazing. For free.One word of caution: you WILL need a map. Pick one up at the tourist information office at Piazza Umberto in Capri town. This standard, blue-and-yellow version (abt. 5 euro) will work but it doesn't title all of the streets, and finding signs can sometimes be a challenge. Don't worry though, it's a delightful place to take a wrong turn or two!
