Be Sure Not To

Villa San Michele
Ride in a red convertible
Some obscure piece of law prohibits visitors to Capri from renting a car,
but this doesn't upset us in the slightest. There are a bevy of dapper
convertibles with drivers for hire on nearly every corner, and a mere wave
is enough to bring one to your service. Tie a scarf 'round your head, jump
into the backseat, and hold hands with your darling as you're driven
around the island in style. We're big suckers for the cherry red ones,
which are so dashing that you can be sure Katharine Hepburn and Howard
Hughes never had it better...
Take a boat ride to Positano
Capri is ever-so close to the Amalfi Coast... and though you'll be loathe
to leave the island for even a moment, we recommend that you take a day
trip across the water to Positano. One of the frequent ferries from Capri
will provide a short and picturesque jaunt to this tiny, famous town
located on sparkling stretch of beach. You'll have to catch your breath
once you arrive: it truly looks like a vision straight out of a picture
postcard, complete with the paint-spattered artist working away on a
canvas propped on an easel.
Dance and sing at the Taverna 'O Guarracino
Just a few yards from the center of La Piazzetta is a low doorway partly
covered in ivy. Duck inside after 9pm, and you'll discover the most
charming nightspot you've ever set foot in. A group of musicians sit on a
tiny stage and strum away on guitars and drums, belting out a mix of
traditional Neapolitan songs and modern love songs that you can't help but
sing along with. Throughout the evening, they invite audience members up
on the stage, and often the whole crowd gets into the act, standing on
tables and clapping their hands to the beat. Drinks are poured liberally,
everyone is having a ball, and you're absolutely guaranteed to enjoy a
glorious, romantic night of singing and dancing that you won't soon
forget!
