How safe is Capri for female travelers?

I booked a room in Anacapri with a swimming pool and it was a wise choice because there are no many places to swim. Ooor you need to pay an expensive cocktail to have access to the sea, you are in Capri, « Expensive » is a part of this island and Anacapri side is better than Capri side for the price. Even if you want to eat an ice cream or a pizza. It’s a safe place but citizens can look rude at you because of the massive tourism it’s understandable and others can give you a big smile if you start talking with a « Buongiorno ! » I like their smile :] When you arrived don’t rush into any restaurants at the harbour search for the lowest prices or small stands it will be the best. Bring your gourds and some cash for the bus !
