I visited the Italian island where homes sell for £20m and it's pure luxury

I visited an island off the coast of that is known for its luxury where homes sells for an eye-watering £20 million. During a , Italy, I took a day trip to the island of Capri. I had heard great things about the island's scenery and general atmosphere and I knew that it was a place for people on the wealthier end of the scale, but I was still taken aback by the pure grandure of this place.

Capri is located just three miles off the Italian coast with the closest mainland town to the island being , somewhere that is popular with tourists during the hotter months of the year. However, I got to Capri by taking a short ferry ride from the main harbour in Naples. Capri is known as a wealthy island and is home to some 12,000 people but the number of people on the island tends to swell during the tourist season, something that was quite obvious to me as soon as I stepped off the boat at the island's harbour.

The harbour area was extremely crowded, something I found a bit overwhelming if I'm being honest. It turns out everyone had the same idea as me.

However, you need to power through these crowds and secure a ticket to the cable car. You will then have to queue up for this but it will eventually take you away from the large crowds.

The cable car, located right next to the harbour, takes visitors and locals up the hills of the island and offers some great views on the way up. Once you get to the end, you are greeted with an array of lovely cafes and restaurants. It was tempting for me to stop and rest at one of these, but I had to resist due to the high prices. So I walked around a bit before I eventually found the bus I needed to get to the main attraction I came to Capri for, the scenic chair lift to the summit.

Indeed, a short bus ride brought me to the chair lift where, unsurprisingly, there was quite a long queue of people. However, I had a suspicion that this queue would be well-worth it and indeed it was.

The views from the chair lift are unbelievable. Not only do you see Capri's amazing coastline, but you can see all the way to mainland Italy as you ascend for 13 minutes. You also pass over houses and gardens, an interesting experience and insight into local life.

Once you reach the top, you get some of the best Italian views there are. The panoramic viewpoints allow you to look down on the surrounding islands and all the way to on the mainland, an attraction I had visited just a day before.

There is also a bar and restaurant up here where I stopped to have a . After navigating the crowds and braving the chair lift, I felt that I deserved it.

Once you have taken in all of the views, you can use your return ticket to go on the chair lift again, this time going down and seeing some more sites from a new angle.

After this, I decided that I would walk down the winding paths and steps instead of taking a bus and a cable car to get back to the base of the island. While this was tough on my legs, I got to discover a side of Capri I wouldn't have otherwise seen. I stumbled across boutique souvenier shops, chocoletiers and high-end restaurants. While my pockets didn't stretch to any purchases, it was still nice to browse.

Capri is known as a wealthy island and according to Capri Online, homes here can sell for as much as £20 million. While there are exclusive resorts and hotels for people who are coming here and willing to spend, it makes for a nice day trip for those who are like I was. Just make sure that you have eaten and had your fix before you leave the mainland.
