A bit of history about these stairs.. Up until 1874, the year in which the carriageway between Capri and Anacapri was completed, the steps represented the only connection between Anacapri and the rest of the world. Anacapri had no wells and the only source of fresh water on the island was the Truglio spring, in the vicinity of the port. As a consequence, the town's womenfolk were obliged to walk down the near 1000 steps and climb back up them (with a heavy vase of water balanced on their heads!), each and every day. In the same way, only this time with the help of donkeys, building material, correspondence and the cumbersome trunks belonging to the first travelers to visit Anacapri were transported up the steps.
I have to tell you person behind the rides ... you are the best ... your camera is very firm and it is very relaxing to see. Thank you for this. I've seen ALL your walks
This is something we have never done on the island. It is not for those with bad knees,however rather walk down than up 😃There are many tourist free areas on Capri but you need to stay there for a week to enjoy this magical place.
Today I have walked down from Anacapri to Capri by stairs with you - each time I use to peep down to see how far it is left to reach, had a nice experience - Thanks for Sharing.
Felicitaciones desde Chile. He visto varias veces los videos de Capri y Anacapri ,villa St. Michele y ahora la escala fenicia. Son fantástico. Ya me ubico en los lugares y cuando vaya a Capri no voy a necesitar tour ni guias. Muy agradecida. Sigan grabando asi.
I must go here! I came across them on the web, and now I absolutely must see them when my wife and I go next year to Sorrento! We'll take the walking down plan after taking a taxi up to the Mt. Solaro chairlift to experience that. Is it far to walk from the chairlift to the beginning of the steps, by the Door of Difference? It doesn't look like it from google maps, but maps can be deceiving sometimes when it comes to distance. And your walking videos have given us the confidence that we don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on a paid tour. We can get around ourselves with your help!
Hey Ken, yeah, you can definitely get around Capri without being part of a paid tour. A taxi up to the chairlift might cost 20 euro and the bus costs 2 Euro...but the buses can be packed with people and lines can get long. Last time I was there, the line for the bus was so long I just started walking down from Anacapri to Capri. Half way down, a guy on a moped stopped and gave me a ride. :) From the chairlift to the Door of Difference is a 5 minute walk if you don't stop to look around. If you have the time, I would recommend at least two days for Capri. Taking the ferry there and back on the same day makes it about impossible to see both sides of the island. If you have any more questions though, feel free to ask. Glad you enjoyed the videos!
@@ProWalks my wife and I took a lot of taxis while we were in Paris and it didn't break the bank, so we'll grab a taxi to get up there to the chairlift and avoid the long lines for the bus. And on your videos of Capri we saw lots of taxis along the side of the road everywhere waiting for fares, so they seem pretty plentiful. One more question- is English spoken a lot there in the shops and such, and with the taxi drivers as well? We always research our trips, so we'll study some basic Italian phrases, especially of the places we want to see.
I'm sorry I missed this comment until now. You would like to see some cafe videos from Capri or just in general? I can for sure...but what is it you want to see? A first person view of me going in and ordering something....or a camera filming me going in ordering? I was thinking about going down to Naples to film some videos of different types of shops like pizzerias and pastry shops.
ProWalks, my walking partner, I see the most late upload contents from you and I use maximum speed of my ability to click the thumb image. These steps of history that you share with the world on this day are ones of true majesty and many successes. I admire them to the highest level like all your videos and I give you the tallest level of thanks for continuous success uploads of your perfection quality youtube channel.
My friend and I accidentally did this walk, from Marina Grande to Anacapri. “Accidentally” because we were looking for the bus to Anacapri, and kept walking UP! We decided since we had already started and we could not see any roads, it mustn’t be too far. Silly Australians. 😂
You really are amazing. To have walked all the way down those stairs and provided film coverage the whole time. I take my hat off to you. I would love to do that walk, but know I would never make it! Such beautiful scenery, also beautifully presented by you. I love watching your Prowalk Tours, as I feel like I am there.
Hey, thanks! I had a mission! :) Filming these walks has been a lot of fun...and sometimes a little tiring but it is worth it. Thanks for taking the time to comment and for watching!
We are reviewing your Prowalks and love them. We only spent two nights on Capri and your walks have convinced us we have to replicate all of them. We figure a five night stay this time. Thanks, Bill and Karen.

Steps. On today’s tour not one. I been on myself friends suggested it Steep walk Gardens used for planting food and flowers too.Great views of te coast
I'm guessing nearly all tourists take a vehicle from the top road and just walk the last hundred steps. Shame really but it did make for a better video for you to produce. :)
8:19 Is there any significance to the cross etched into the stone? As you come to the bottom of the steps, I notice open squares on the right stone walls. For water drainage? Or could they have been used to protect themselves? In Lincoln, NM there is a torreon, a cylindrical shaped "fortress" built around 1850s to protect the Spanish-Americans from the Apache. The weapons would go through the holes, giving them a chance to protect themselves by the thick walls. If I had my way, we'd just all get along, no hate, no need to use animals for food, fur or hides. I'm a dreamer. 🍃🕊🍃
Yes, I read that centuries ago the local clergy etched the cross in the stone to protect the travellers from falling stones. I believe there are more than one.
Awesome job, Prowalks! As much as I want to walk down those steps I'm a little leery about those isolated spots being a solo female traveler. I will have to grab someone to walk down those steps with me if I ever return.
Always take care to be safe, but don't let fear prevent you from truly experiencing the wonders that this world has to offer. It looks like there is a lot of people along the walk, so there would always be a kind stranger to assist if you ever felt unsafe. Have a wonderful life!
the villa is phenomenal, I felt tired myself just to think you were walking all of those steps, you're a true athlete!
Well, it would have been more impressive if I had walked up....but the video would have been 3x longer. :)
Those ancient ladies were true athletes as well. Can’t imagine carrying a pot of water whilst dragging my person up all those steps. Mamma mia! 😆

Wow I would've guessed war related...
David Lemon ...and we think we have problems! Thanks for that slice of history! 👍
I'll bet there wasn't any obesity and the women were incredibly fit. The European women in these videos still look fabulous.
Fantastic view and colors. Really beautiful 😉
I have to tell you person behind the rides ... you are the best ... your camera is very firm and it is very relaxing to see. Thank you for this. I've seen ALL your walks
The lady at 1:20 with the angry little dog, leave it at home next time.. maybe stay with it
What a wonderful view! By the way, how did you get to the top of the steps? Don't tell me you didn't use those stairs, did you?😁😁😁
another wonderful walk ...what a stairway ...fabulous ..i also like it when you peak into the gardens..magical place ..thank you
This is something we have never done on the island. It is not for those with bad knees,however rather walk down than up 😃There are many tourist free areas on Capri but you need to stay there for a week to enjoy this magical place.

Tenho de realizar este sonho de visitar Ana Capri, adoro esta ilha...
Can you do one of eating at different cafes walking to?.

Leggete il libro san N
Michele di Haxel Munthe
that is a steep stairway. I will not walk either down or up the stairs. 😊
Be adventurous, young man! I saw people of all ages up there! I want to go there next year with my wife and it's on my list of things to do!
It's the scene of the gods. I live in Seoul and mainly introduce Seoul, but I really want to go there.
prowalks is my best youtuber !!

@@pennypiper7382 In thongs too! (flip flops) It was beautiful.
Thank you very much for the beautiful walk and the opportunity to share subtitles in another language.
And so it turns out that I'm doing this walk today, exactly one year to the day after it was filmed... Nice coincidence :)

Stupendo....magico....meraviglioso luogo!
🙋Very good video, best channel👍👈😊
Fantastic video as always :)

Good job. Beautiful walk. Thank you for sharing.
An exciting adventure. Lots of thrills with beautiful scenery. Shoe leather stress.
В каком году построена эта лестница?

I am phoenician
Curious to see when it's heavy rain. I can see obvious two drain holes. Are those enough to do with the water sliding?
This video it's very well done! Thank you😊
Супер.
Grazie!

Muito obrigado por esse lindo passeio 💓🍀💓🌸💓
I never knew this existed,and now it's all I can think about. I wonder would I be able to take on all those steps?
I love this walk. Thank you for show us. Beautiful!!!
I wonder if anyone uses the steps going all the way to the top anymore.
I keep coming back to this one
Bravissimo, perfetto, meraviglia, incanto
