After a lot of walking, the harrowing busrides or just checking out the prices at the stores of the Piazzatta, it's always gelato-thirty on Capri.
Just off of the Piazzatta, to the right, is a narrow street that sends you toward hotels. Soon after you start walking down, a small gelateria will be on your left. You'll probably smell the sweetness of freshmade sugar cones first. Ananas e coco were the winning flavors from our trip. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and Drink

 Garden Capri by Ekahau

This is one of those do you but it under shopping or warning danger. This small shop specializes in perfume made on the island from local herbs and flowers. Since 1948, this shop has attracted many well known clients and separated them from their money. The scents are unique and very popular among women especially my wife.

Limoncello is everywhere on the Sorrentine Peninsula. It's a bright yellow liqueur made from the rinds of lemons and usually served as an after-dinner "digestive" - although you can buy little glasses of the stuff any time of the day. It's like super-intense lemonade with a serious kick and the traditional version is made strictly from lemons that grow in this region of Italy. Other than liquids generally being a pain to deal with on a plane, it's a nice, inexpensive gift or souvenir in containers of all sizes - some small enough to tuck inside your shoes to prevent breakage on the flight home. I'm sure most places will ship the larger bottles.
Even if you don't spring for a whole bottle, at least try it in a restaurant, a bar or from one of the stands that sell individual glasses. We picked up tiny cupfuls from a kiosk on the way to the Gardens of Augustus. There are many brands and they can taste very different - some sweeter, some with more alcohol "burn", etc. The best-selling label - Limoncello di Capri - can be purchased at shops of the same name in Capri (Via Roma, 79) and Anacapri (Via Capodimonte, 27). It also has a nice website with recipes and information about this sunny beverage.
Bonus: some restaurants serve limoncello as their version of the free after-dinner mint! Yum.
Cost depends on size of bottle, starting at a mere couple of euro. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

 Parfum bottles by TRimer
My favourite, lo, is a skinlingering fig with an exuberant fizz of tea leaf. Others to try include Fiori di Capri which is a bouquet of carnation and lily of the valley, against a sensual background of sandalwood, ylangylang and oak and Ligea, named after one of the sirens who endeavoured to ensnare Odysseus, which is a seductive blend of mandarin and warm, powdery opoponax.
Around 60 euro for 50 ml. Leave a Comment Theme: Bath and BeautyAddress: Via Camerelle 10Phone: (081) 837 0529Directions: Capri townWebsite: http://www.carthusia.com

No doubt about it, Capri town caters to the extremely well heeled so if your yacht is anchored at the marina, dropping serious euros at Versace (or Dior, Valentino or Pucci) is no sweat. The great news for the rest of us is that a glass of limoncello in the piazzetta, a climb to a lofty perch overlooking an aquamarine sea, or a ramble past whitewashed houses draped in masses of flowers is enough make even the most budget-challenged of us feel very rich indeed.
Many of the the natural wonders of the island are blissfully free (or at least within reason) and make for better memories and pictures than the inside of a store anyway, right? If having a taste, if not the bank account, for designer labels, evening is a nice time for a little window shopping, and Anacapri seemed to offer a more accessible range of items - in casual, open-air shops - for the not-so-rich or famous.

Italian ceramics are famous for their intricate designs painted in vivid, cheerful colors. In the Sorrentine area, plates, pitchers, decorative tile and other works of pottery often sport sunny yellow lemons - the symbol of this region - amid cool blues reflective of the sea. Pieces come in all shapes, sizes, functions and costs, and most of ceramic shops on the island will ship a larger treasure home - a plus in these days of luggage size and weight restrictions! On a budget? A small, trivet-sized tile might be the perfect memento of your visit. This tip picture was in Anacapri at, I believe, L'Oasi Ceramiche on via Capodimonte and there are other shops to browse as well.
Generally a lousy cook (I have a kitchen 'cause it came with the house), I probably could use a bunch of this stuff - plates this gorgeous could make even burnt toast look good. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft
