The Journey

1

Piazzetta (Piazza Umberto I)

The Piazzetta, officially known as Piazza Umberto I, is the vibrant heart of Capri, where the island's pulse is most palpable. This charming square, known locally as 'a chiazz', serves as a meeting point for locals and tourists alike. It is a place to soak in the lively atmosphere, people-watch, and appreciate the timeless allure of Capri. Historically, it has been the center of Caprese life, and today it remains the social and cultural nucleus of the island, surrounded by cafes, shops, and historical buildings.

2

Capri Town

Capri Town, one of the two main settlements on the island, embodies the glamorous essence of Capri. Beyond its iconic Piazzetta, Capri Town offers a diverse array of attractions. Discover hidden beaches, hike scenic trails, and delve into local history at its museums. Indulge in world-class shopping along fashionable streets and savor authentic Italian cuisine at trendy cafés, where you might just spot a celebrity or two. It is a captivating blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and high-end luxury, making it a must-visit destination.

3

Charterhouse of San Giacomo & Gardens of Augustus

Escape the bustle of the Piazzetta with a stroll to two of Capri's gems: the Charterhouse of San Giacomo and the Gardens of Augustus. The Charterhouse, dating back to 1371, stands as the oldest and most historically significant landmark on the island, representing centuries of Caprese heritage. Adjacent, the Gardens of Augustus offer a tranquil oasis with terraced landscapes and panoramic views encompassing the iconic Faraglioni rocks, the Bay of Marina Piccola, and the serpentine Via Krupp. Together, they provide a captivating blend of history, art, and breathtaking natural beauty.

4

Villa Jovis (Tiberius' Villa)

Ascend the slopes of Monte Tiberio to uncover the ruins of Villa Jovis, the grandest of the twelve villas built by Emperor Tiberius in the first century AD. This vast palace, spanning over 7,000 square meters, offers unparalleled views of the Bay of Naples, from Ischia to Punta Campanella. Follow the historical route from the Piazzetta, through winding streets, to reach this testament to Roman power and architectural ingenuity. The ascent is a rewarding journey, offering both historical immersion and stunning vistas.

5

Anacapri

Venture to Anacapri, the tranquil sister town perched high on the slopes of Capri. Connected historically to the port via the daunting Scala Fenicia (Phoenician Steps), Anacapri presents a more relaxed and authentic side of the island. Explore its charming town center, filled with artisan workshops, picturesque piazzas, and winding pedestrian streets. Unlike the glamour of Capri town, Anacapri offers a glimpse into the island's traditional craftsmanship and understated beauty. Discover the magic of its quiet corners and enjoy the sweeping views from its elevated position.
