Continuing the photo research journal as I write about Capri in Deceptive, Book Three in the On the Run series, which features international travel, mystery, and a dash of romance . . .
My visit to Capri began with an hour-long ferry ride from Pozzuoli, a city near Naples. The ferries only run during certain times of the year and ours was crowded with Italian, American, and German tourists heading to Capri for the day.
Arrival in Capri
Cruise ship anchored outside Capri’s Marina Grande, which became part of the novel in Deceptive
Capri harbor
Yachts crowding the sea stacks–high-end traffic jam!
We circled the island, passing through the arch in the sea stack and by the Blue Grotto, which we didn’t have time to visit. :(

Another traffic jam, this time at the Blue Grotto
A funicular connects the harbor with Anacapri, a town high up in the hills, but the line was too long. Instead of spending our time waiting in line we walked, taking a path with many stairs through a residential area of walled homes. Up, up, and up we climbed. After a short rest for a drink at Piazza Vittoria, where we caught our breath, we rode the chairlift to the highest point on the island, Monte Solaro, with it’s incredible views of the sea stacks.
