Capri, The Island of Love

Tour 5 - Sunday 25 January 2009 (09h00 - 16h30)**

Departure from the HTL in the morning toward Sorrento harbour and then toward Capri by regular hydrofoil. Once in Capri Marina Grande harbour we will reach "La Piazzetta" and depart a unique walking tour of Capri's historic centre visiting also the famous Augusto's gardens and enjoying the wonderful view on the sea and Via Krupp... stopping along the way to see classical and modern interpretations of the island's traditional arts and crafts and meet the local people who produce them.

La Piazzetta... "The "heart" of Capri is Piazza Umberto I: a small, closed-off square resembling a courtyard where vip's are used to have aperitifs during their summer holidays.

Via Krupp... In 1900 the German magnate Krupp financed the construction of a street to be used for travelling on foot that connected the Quisisana - where he lived - to Marina Piccola. Built with great skill by engineer Emilio Mayer, it has been called "the world's most beautiful road", thanks to the way it hugs the cliffs and the appropriate use of local construction materials.

The Gardens of Augustus... The gardens belonged to the villa of Friedrich Alfred Krupp, son of the founder of the German steelworks who residence in Capri at the end of the last century. Built on the ruins of ancient Roman structures, the gardens were donated by Krupp to the Town of Capri, which later named them for the Roman emperor.

Lunch will be at leisure.
