1. Have a stroll around the historic part of town.
Head to SpaccaNapoli, where you can admire the narrow streets of bygone Neapolitan days packed with handicraft stores and some of the the 448 churches that exude history and tradition. After which you should stop for a “caffè” at Gran Caffè La Caffettiera, on the Piazza dei Martiri, which is conveniently located near the designer shops. Expect excellent service and a lovely white terrace complemented by delicious Napolitan pastries as you watch the city bustle by.

3. Have a pizza at 50 Kalò.
Naples is the pizza capital of the world, and Neapolitans proudly claim the 50 Kalò restaurant is home to the best one in town! Tried and tested by us, we can’t help but agree. The dough is prepared over 24 hours using low-protein flours, the produce is fresh, organic and locally sourced making this pizza truly phenomenal. Be sure to indulge yourself on a deep fried pizza and a delicious dessert, especially Rum Baba, the famous Neapolitan cake.
4. Explore the grottos of Capri and The Roman Emperor’s Villas.
Hop on your yacht and cruise towards Capri where you can spend the day exploring the renowned grottos – such as the Grotta Azzurra with its sapphire-blue water, as well as the White Grotto, home to a fascinating stalagmite formation resembling the Madonna. If you’d like to spend some time on land, be sure to discover the infinitely beautiful Augustus Gardens, where you can retrace the steps of the Roman Emperors whilst admiring panoramic views.
5. Dine at E’ Divino and Dance at Anema E Core.
Berth your yacht in the Marina Grande for the night and head to the top of Capri where you can explore the island’s main trendy little town and its winding streets. Reminiscent of St. Tropez, Capri has been synonymous with elegance and luxury for many centuries. The shops in Capri boast limited edition designer items and trends before they become popular in the rest of the world. Enjoy a truly exceptional dinner at Ristorante E’ Divino ( the name is a play on words in Italian meaning “of wine” and “divine”). This conceptual restaurant is decorated in the style of a real Italian villa, so you can dine in the bedroom whilst enjoying some of the finest wine and food! After dinner, why not dance the night away with all your “Heart & Soul” at Taverna Anema E Core, a favourite hotspot amongst the world’s elite. With authentic upbeat Italian music, an infectious atmosphere and an intimate setting this will be a true highlight of your trip.
