Docked on the molo Angioino, opposite the Castel Nuovo, a fortress built in the 13th century during the reign of Charles I of Anjou, our white ship welcomes passengers in 99 cabins. From the deck, you can see the Palazzo Reale, where Murat and his wife Caroline Bonaparte lived, basking in the warm December sunshine. It's time to stroll through the narrow streets of the Spanish Quarter, adorned with linen, to discover the merchants selling everything and anything that clutter up the pavement, to listen to the sound of horns and bel canto, to be amused by the gossip exchanged between gossips from one window to another, to soak up this paradoxical atmosphere where the most sumptuous baroque rubs shoulders with the ravages of time.<br><br>Popular with aesthetes and writers since the 17th century, the city of Campania was one of the destinations on the Grand Tour, the long journey that young men from good families were obliged to make. Goethe, Stendhal and Alexandre Dumas celebrated it, as did many lesser-known writers. So many civilisations have succeeded one another here and left their mark, as they have throughout the peninsula: Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Normans, Angevins, Aragonese, not forgetting the Bourbons and the Napoleonic interlude. The city is well worth a visit if you really want to discover all its riches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-capri-c-est-pas-fini\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Capri_cest_pas_fini\"><\/span>Capri, it's not over yet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Capri_0300-Copier.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"Capri l\u2019\u00e9ternelle, o\u00f9 les mondes se c\u00f4toient, entre la jet-set italienne et l\u2019activit\u00e9 traditionnelle.\" data-rl_caption=\"Capri l\u2019\u00e9ternelle, o\u00f9 les mondes se c\u00f4toient, entre la jet-set italienne et l\u2019activit\u00e9 traditionnelle.\" title=\"The eternal Capri, where worlds meet, between the Italian jet-set and traditional activities.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Capri_0300-Copier-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The eternal Capri, where worlds meet, between the Italian jet-set and traditional activities.\" class=\"wp-image-4774\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Capri_0300-Copier-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Capri_0300-Copier-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Capri_0300-Copier-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Capri_0300-Copier-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Capri_0300-Copier-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Capri_0300-Copier-36x20.jpg 36w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Capri_0300-Copier.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The eternal Capri, where worlds meet, between the Italian jet-set and traditional activities.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><br>The next day, after a night in port, we take a hydrofoil to Capri and Anacapri. During the night, the sea swells a little and a light drizzle accompanies the crossing. The magic of the islands: as we arrived at the port, which was rather calm for the time of year, the sky, full of large ashen clouds, gradually turned blue. The visit began auspiciously. What can we say about Capri, this island of basalt, ostentation and international tourism? Over the centuries, the \"isola\" has become a myth. Even in winter, its beauty is very real, and you can't help but be captivated by the charms of this rock, with its vegetation tumbling down its steep slopes to the sea. The \"Wild Boar Island\" of the Greeks was also one of the Romans' little corners of paradise. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/villa-san-Michele_0314-Copier.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-3\" data-rl_title=\"A Anacapri, les jardins de la villa San Michele sont orn\u00e9s de nombreux vestiges et \u0153uvres d&rsquo;art remontant \u00e0 l&rsquo;Antiquit\u00e9 et \u00e0 l&rsquo;Egypte ancienne.\" data-rl_caption=\"A Anacapri, les jardins de la villa San Michele sont orn\u00e9s de nombreux vestiges et \u0153uvres d&#039;art remontant \u00e0 l&#039;Antiquit\u00e9 et \u00e0 l&#039;Egypte ancienne.\" title=\"In Anacapri, the gardens of Villa San Michele are adorned with numerous relics and works of art dating back to Antiquity and Ancient Egypt.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"432\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/villa-san-Michele_0314-Copier.jpg\" alt=\"In Anacapri, the gardens of Villa San Michele are adorned with numerous relics and works of art dating back to Antiquity and Ancient Egypt.\" class=\"wp-image-4783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/villa-san-Michele_0314-Copier.jpg 432w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/villa-san-Michele_0314-Copier-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/villa-san-Michele_0314-Copier-7x12.jpg 7w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/villa-san-Michele_0314-Copier-338x600.jpg 338w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/villa-san-Michele_0314-Copier-14x24.jpg 14w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>In Anacapri, the gardens of Villa San Michele are adorned with numerous relics and works of art dating back to Antiquity and Ancient Egypt.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Hailed by the Swedish writer and doctor Axel Munthe, who bequeathed his famous Villa San Michele to his homeland, Capri became a fashionable destination in the 20th century.

It's time for us to delve into the roots of our civilisation: Pompeii and Herculaneum, cities mummified by the fire of Vesuvius, which towers over the bay. Here, everyone knows that they will wake up one day, but when? While awaiting the wrath of this sleeping monster, the people of Campania live in harmony with the danger (the last eruption dates back to 1944), watching only to see whether the day will be rainy or sunny. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the slopes of this devil, men have rebuilt, planted; a challenge to the inevitable. But life transcends tragedy! And Naples knows it is immortal. At least, as long as the egg hidden by the poet Virgil under the Castel dell'Ovo doesn't break... according to legend (1).<br>For almost two millennia, since 79 AD, the date of the deadly eruption, Pompeii has lain under a shroud of pumice stone, perfectly preserved in its gangue of ash and dried mud. It was only in the eighteenth century that excavations brought to light this prosperous city, wiped off the map in a matter of hours. You can't help but be moved by the feverish beauty that emanates from it. Men, women and children were frozen for eternity by the burning ash, dying as they tried to shelter, embrace and breathe in a mouth-to-mouth apocalypse. <br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Herculanum_B-Postel_maison-Saniticci_DSC_0403-Copier.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-6\" data-rl_title=\"Herculanum.

The hull and 2 lower decks were built in Namur, and the ship was then towed to Brussels via a canal, where the other 2 decks were completed. This was due to the height of the railway bridges, roads, etc., as a 4-deck ship could not pass under them.<br>La belle de l'Adriatique has been fitted with \u00abFINS\u00bb type side stabilisers to keep the ship stable in swells. The boat is also equipped with lifeboats that can accommodate all the passengers and crew. With a fairly shallow draught of 2.50 m, <em>La Belle<\/em> can navigate in areas not accessible to large cruise ships and dock in small ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Text and Photos :<\/strong> Brigitte Postel<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.croisieurope.com\/croisiere\/naples-cote-amalfitaine-sicile-calabre-classique\">https:\/\/www.croisieurope.com\/croisiere\/naples-cote-amalfitaine-sicile-calabre-classique<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Naples to Taormina, from Capri to the villages of the Amalfi Coast, this maritime cruise offered by CroisiMer takes us on a voyage of discovery through southern Italy and north-eastern Sicily.
