I wrote this piece one beautiful summers day when cruising on a luxury yachts charter about the island of Capri. We’d spent a couple of weeks sailing round the Mediterranean ( Sardinia, Sicily, Lampedusa and Capri) and boy oh boy was it an experience of a life time.
A luxury yachts charter gives one the opportunity to see life and a part of the world from a completely unique viewpoint. Away from the travelers and tourists sights, away from all the bustle of the towns and cities, away from everything you can be alone with your thought processes and truly take in what nature provides. The advantage of luxury yachts charter is that you can always dock at the port and rejoin the manic throngs of people to do a bit of shopping, eat the glorious foods, visit places of interest and then return to the tranquillity of the sea.
Besides could there be something more stunning than the Mediterranean sea lulling you to sleep? For those who have been considering going on a luxury yachts charter round the island of Capri, below are a few points of interest which you ought not miss.
Blue Grotto (Grotto Azzuro)
This stunning grotto is a well-known tourist attraction as once within the grotto you will witness the most beautiful surreal, blue cave. The cave is angelic and blue as a result of the reflection off the blue waters. It truly is an awesome sight to see.
La Piazzetta
La Piazzetta is a little piazza where you will experience Italian social life at its best. This is the social heart of the island lies. You are able to make a choice between the several bars and restaurants to have a wonderful dinner and drinks. This is also the spot where you will find the funicular, and where you can observe views of Monte Solaro.
The Faraglioni Rocks This view will be best seen from your luxury yacht as it give you the opportunity to get up close and personal as they say. The Faraglioni are three huge rock humps rising from the Mediterranean sea, with a natural tunnel in through one of the rocks, making it possible to enter it by smaller boat.
Castiglione and Barbarossa castles
If castles and ruins are just your kind of thing then you definitely should make your way to this medieval castle called Castiglione along with Barbarossa castle that’s located in Anacapri. Castiglione dates back to the 1400’s and is a popular tourist spot. Barbarossa is in ruins however the ruins still contains the two towers , a chapel and a fortress wall.
