The Journey
Capri
Capri, arguably Italy's most famous island, is a mesmerizing blend of natural beauty and glamorous allure. A haven for artists, celebrities, and travelers alike, Capri offers dramatic coastlines, hidden coves, and vibrant towns. Explore its charming streets, indulge in exquisite cuisine, and soak in the breathtaking views that have captivated visitors for centuries. Don't miss the chance to experience the island's unique charm and create lasting memories.
Blue Grotto
The Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) is Capri's most iconic attraction, a sea cave illuminated by an ethereal blue light. Sunlight entering through an underwater cavity creates this magical effect, transforming the water into a shimmering sapphire spectacle. Visitors are rowed into the grotto on small wooden boats, where they can marvel at the otherworldly beauty within. Although the entrance fee is 14€, the experience is well worth the price to witness this natural wonder.
Faraglioni Rocks
The Faraglioni are three towering rock formations rising majestically from the sea off the coast of Capri. These iconic landmarks are not only a visual spectacle but also steeped in history and mythology. They frame the Marina Piccola, a glamorous area known for its upscale restaurants and beach clubs. Legend has it that one of the rocks, known as the 'Arc of Love,' was once used as a lighthouse. Keep an eye out for the rare blue lizard (Podarcis siculus coeruleus) that inhabits these rocks, a unique species found only in this area.
Augustus Gardens
The Gardens of Augustus (Giardini di Augusto) offer a tranquil escape and panoramic views of Capri's coastline. Originally known as Krupp Gardens, these botanical gardens were established by the German industrialist Friedrich Alfred Krupp. They boast a diverse collection of plants and flowers, as well as terraces overlooking the Faraglioni rocks and the Bay of Marina Piccola. A short walk from Capri's center, the gardens provide a peaceful respite and a chance to admire the island's natural beauty.
Mount Solaro
Mount Solaro, the highest point on Capri, offers unparalleled panoramic views of the island, the Amalfi Coast, and the Sorrento Peninsula. Reached via a scenic chairlift from Anacapri, the summit provides a breathtaking vantage point to admire the stunning landscape. At the top, you'll find a small cafe, a historic hermitage, and several viewpoints perfect for capturing unforgettable photos. The chairlift ride itself is a memorable experience, gliding over vineyards and olive groves.
Villa San Michele
Villa San Michele, built upon the ruins of an ancient chapel, is a stunning architectural masterpiece and a testament to the vision of Swedish physician and author Axel Munthe. Completed in 1895, the villa showcases a harmonious blend of classical and Mediterranean styles. Its terraced gardens, filled with ancient artifacts and sculptures, offer breathtaking views of the island and the sea. Visitors can explore the villa's interior, admire its art collection, and wander through its enchanting gardens, discovering hidden corners and breathtaking vistas.
Piazzetta
The Piazzetta, also known as Piazza Umberto I, is the heart and soul of Capri town. This bustling square is a hub of activity, surrounded by cafes, restaurants, and shops. It's the perfect place to soak in the island's vibrant atmosphere, people-watch, and enjoy a coffee or aperitivo. From the Piazzetta, visitors can easily access other attractions, such as the Via Camerelle (a street lined with luxury boutiques), Mount Solaro, and the Gardens of Augustus.
Marina Piccola
Marina Piccola, Capri's second harbor, is a picturesque bay known for its upscale beach clubs, excellent restaurants, and stunning sea views. Tucked away on the island's south side, it offers a more secluded and sophisticated atmosphere than the bustling Marina Grande. Visitors can relax on the beach, dine at waterfront restaurants, or take a boat trip to explore the nearby grottos and coastline. The 'Song of the Sea' beach club is particularly famous.
Marina Grande Beach

Easily accessible and close to the funicular which takes you directly into the town center, the beach provides a perfect spot for a relaxed day by the sea. Enjoy sunbathing, swimming or simply enjoying the lively atmosphere. With its easy access and proximity to the main port, it's a great choice for a quick beach visit.
Green Grotto
The Green Grotto (Grotta Verde), one of Capri's captivating sea caves, offers a unique swimming experience in its crystal-clear, emerald-hued waters. Named for the green reflection of sunlight on the water, this grotto is a popular spot for boat tours. Visitors can often take a refreshing dip inside the cave, marveling at the vibrant colors and the unique rock formations. It's an unforgettable experience for those seeking adventure and natural beauty.
Villa Jovis
Villa Jovis, the grand imperial residence of Emperor Tiberius, is a sprawling archaeological site perched on a hilltop overlooking Capri. Covering 7,000 square meters, the villa once housed lavish living quarters, baths, and gardens. Today, visitors can explore the ruins and admire the breathtaking panoramic views of the island, the Amalfi Coast, and the Sorrento Peninsula. The sheer scale of the villa and its strategic location offer a glimpse into the power and opulence of the Roman Empire.
Capri (Island Location)
Capri, nestled in the Gulf of Naples, is a captivating island that has drawn visitors since the Roman era.

The island blends striking natural beauty with rich history and culture, offering stunning coastlines, ancient ruins, and charming towns. Capri provides an enchanting experience for every traveler, with opportunities for relaxation, adventure, and cultural enrichment.
White Grotto
The White Grotto (Grotta Bianca), a pristine sea cave on Capri's coastline, gets its name from the white stalactites that adorn its interior. These formations create stunning reflections in the crystal-clear water, enhancing the cave's ethereal beauty. Inside, you'll find a small Madonna statue nestled among the rocks, adding a touch of spirituality to this natural wonder. It's a picturesque site that combines natural beauty with unique religious elements. This grotto often marks the beginning of many Capri boat tours, providing a memorable introduction to the island's coastal wonders.
Villa Malaparte
Villa Malaparte, an architectural icon perched on a dramatic cliff overlooking the Faraglioni rocks, was the former residence of renowned Italian writer Curzio Malaparte. This striking red modernist structure, designed by architect Adalberto Libera, is a masterpiece of Italian architecture. Its unique design and stunning location have made it a popular subject for photographers and filmmakers. Today, the villa serves as a private residence and is occasionally open to the public for guided tours, offering a glimpse into the life and vision of its famous owner.
