ICBRKR TRAVEL GUIDE: CAPRI
CAPRI
Capri is an island situated in the Tyrrhenian Sea with breathtaking landscapes and hotels on the cliffside. It is the ultimate summer destination for the glitterati to reach by yacht or boat. Unfortunately, all glamorous destinations also come with tacky tourist traps, so reference these insider tips to avoid any unpleasant experiences. Capri is known for their agriculture and fishing communities, which lends to the fresh and simple yet bold flavors of the cuisine. Most places are accessible by foot but be sure you book a car to help you get to your hotel if you are traveling with any heavy luggage.
