Sun, sea and shopping

Capri provides the most wonderful setting in which to indulge in one of the contemporary traveller's favourite pursuits.
Whether searching for the latest designer outfit, an exclusive piece of jewellery, made to measure sandals, or a hand woven garment; the narrow streets and hidden alleyways of Capri and Anacapri are brimful of small boutiques and craftsmen’s workshops where the visitor can admire and acquire the best of both Italian and local products.

Shopping in Capri is a unique experience, a marvellous opportunity to witness the making of those traditional products for which the island is famous. Resident artists open up the doors of their studios, inviting passers by and collectors alike to watch them at work and browse through the exhibitions of paintings, sculptures and ceramics. Tourists in search of that special souvenir are more than welcome to observe the artistry of the cobblers and lace workers, busily making the finishing touches to their latest masterpiece. Nobody should miss the chance to explore the laboratories where the flowers of Capri are transformed into unforgettable perfumes, nor should they fail to pay a visit to the showrooms where the world-famous Limoncello of Capri is displayed in all its forms and variations.

From dawn to long beyond sunset, one can stroll through the maze of tiny streets, dropping into one of the outlets specialising in local delicacies or stopping off for a little more sustenance at any of the numerous bars and restaurants whose tables spill out onto the walkways and piazzas from where one can, in true Capri style, happily watch the rest of the world pass by.
