The bustling port of Capri

Is this Capri's most unforgettable sight?
Hi
My husband, another couple and I are spending a few days in Capri to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary next month and on our actual anniversary day would like to have a picnic lunch together. I would really appreciate any suggestions where we could have our lunch. Thank you
How lovely!
I suggest either a walk to the wonderful Villa Jovis, which has stunning views as well as many shady spots for a picnic (if it's very hot) or a walk to the Arco Naturale then back down through the woods on the cliffside to Capri town. Lots of beautiful views and plenty of spots to sit and enjoy them.
Enjoy!
This is the most important square in Capri: the Piazzetta. It´s a very nice place to have a drink or if you have enough money, to have lunch.-
Esta es la plaza más importante de Capri: La Piazzetta. Es un lugar muy lindo para sentarse a tomar algo o bien, si se tiene suficiente dinero, es un muy buen lugar para un almuerzo frugal.-
We caught one of the early buses up to Anacapri and took a nice ramble about the town while it was just opening up. A short distance from Piazza Vittoria, we ran into this gorgeous little cemetery and spent a good half-hour wandering around. Unlike many in the U.S. - often decorated with plastic foliage and too isolated to visit on foot - we were struck by the masses of real plants and flowers adorning the plots and by the amount of people dropping by with fresh replacements on their walk to work or school. Young and old, they came to say "buon giorno" to loved ones, water greenery, clear away drooping flora and arrange fresh, new blooms. Many of the tombs also had lovely pieces of statuary and pictures of the people who rest there.
An especially memorable moment: the elderly woman who greeted the monument of (probably) her husband with a long, passionate kiss and, with a big smile, filled him in on all the latest family news while she tidied up his adornments.
On Via De Tommaso just a block or two from the main piazza. Highly recommended - as a peaceful and welcome respite from the very busy piazza, if nothing else.
The hydrofoil from Naples takes only 45 minutes. This is much faster than the ferry which can take 80 minutes and is much rougher. The hydrofoil only costs around 11 Euro.
Transportation from Naples is available either at the port of Mergellina or Molo Beverello; however, it is much more convenient to depart from Molo Beverello because of the greater frequency of departures and larger selection of ferries and hydrofoils.
There are several companies that run trips to and from the island so check with them for a schedule.
We relaxed at Marina Piccola at the end of a very long day. My friends had been there the weekend before and led the way past the "rental beach" down winding steps to a little rocky beach that was mostly hidden. Wewere free to catch the last rays of son and wade into the sea. We went up to the bar and bought pina coladas. A little Italian man grabbed me and we danced to salsa music as the wind blew through the open terrace. We eventaully had to run to catch our ferry but the time spent at the marina was worth it.
You can either pay 7 euros (roundtrip) for the chairlift or hike up Monte Solaro. Finding the path to go up is a little hard. It's about a block away from where the chair lift starts and passes under the chairlift. We opted for taking the chairlift up then hiked back down. The views are breathtaking on top.
