Capri Sun, sea and... shopping!

Shopping on the Island of Capri is a unique experience and the ideal occasion for those looking for that hot-off-the-catwalk designer dress, an important item of jewelry, a pair of made-to-measure sandals, or the island's legendary Capri Pants. In the historic centers of Capri and Anacapri, the island's artists' and craftsmen's studios are all open to the public, allowing visitors to both purchase goods and watch their creators at work.

Visitors in search of a special gift should be sure to pay a visit to one of the local shoemakers or pop in to one of the little shops selling handmade lace and embroidery. Not to be missed, a tour of the laboratories where the essences of the island's flowers are transformed into exquisite perfumes. Making the perfect present for those back home, Capri's Limoncello Liqueur is sold in bottles of every size and shape and, if you are unwilling to pack glass into your suitcase, in the form of delicious Limoncello-filled chocolates.

From dawn until dusk, holidaymakers have the chance to explore the medieval lanes of Capri, stopping off for lunch at one of the island's characteristic bistros, before stocking up on edible souvenirs in Capri's world-famous delicatessens. After a day's shopping, visitors are likely to be found, surrounded by beautifully confectioned bags filled with their recently purchased treasures, relaxing at one of the pavement cafes in the Piazzetta, watching the world pass by whilst they enjoy a leisurely post-shopping aperitif.
