Isola Capraia.....what a gem of a place.


Capraia is part of the Tuscan Archipelago Nationals Park with the island and its waters a marine reserve. 


Wow! 

Approaching Isola Capraia.....what a gem of a place. With the weather predicted to stay very settled, we were able to safely anchor in a corner of the harbour beside some cliffs topped by a medieval watch tower. 





We soon had the dingy down and made our way the short distance past an unusual sculpture of a sea nymph on the end of the  breakwater and into the inner harbour and marina area to the waterfront village.

The rest of the day was spent enjoying the serenity, with a few sundowners of course and a great dinner in the cockpit. We love summer. 



Capraia sa esattamente cosa vuole, non accetta compromessi e va saputa prendere. È indubbiamente bella, ma di una bellezza così selvaggia e tagliente che solo i più audaci se ne innamorano"
