Capri, Italy

The beautiful island of Capri was the second place we explored while in the Amalfi Coast area! I was more excited about Capri than maybe anywhere else while planning our trip to Italy. Thankfully, this little island lived up to all my expectations, even with the rainy day we had there, which is just a testament to how special this place is. Every store front is pristine, and looks like it was staged for a photo shoot. There are flowers EVERYWHERE, just adorning this entire island. Even the little details of Capri, like the directional signs on the foot paths were hand painted ceramic. It’s obvious to me why this island is so beloved! Capri has been the backdrop of so many books and movies…not to mention the location of celebrity vacation homes and various helicopter landings. All this to say, Capri was straight out of a storybook and I hope that comes through in all my photos because they were so fun to take and edit!

Below I’ll list all the things we did on the island and my food recommendations. I hope we will all be traveling to this beautiful place soon once the world of covid has passed!
