Capri
About Capri
Capri is famed for its rugged landscape, upscale hotels, and shopping, from designer fashions to limoncello and handmade leather sandals. One of its best-known natural sites is the Blue Grotto, a dark cavern where the sea glows electric blue, the result of sunlight passing through an underwater cave. In summer, Capri's dramatic, cove-studded coastline draws many yachts. Between Capri's rocky coves, there are a handful of small but popular beaches, such as Bagni di Tiberio and Marina Piccola. The latter is set between jagged lava rocks and has views of the iconic Faraglioni rock formations. The main town, also called Capri, is reached via funicular up a steep hill. It’s here that most of the isle’s luxurious hotels, nightspots, and restaurants reside, making it popular with international celebrities. Across the island and even higher up, the quaint town of Anacapri is where sightseers can catch a chairlift to the peak of 589m-high Monte Solaro.
Blue Grotto
The Blue Grotto or the Grotta Azzurra is a sea cave on the coast of the island of Capri. Sunlight passing through an underwater cavity and shining through the seawater creates a blue reflection that illuminates the cavern. The blue grotto is a natural sea cave that is roughly 60 feet deep, 180 feet long, and 75 feet wide.
Faraglioni
Faraglioni is Capri's most iconic sight with three towering rock formations that jut out from the Mediterranean just off the island's coast. A snapshot with this breathtaking group of sea stacks in the background is a must for all visitors to Capri. The Faraglioni rock formations of Capri tower an average of 100 meters above the surface of the sea.
Villa San Michele
Villa San Michele is the life's work at Capri of the Swedish physician and author Axel Munthe. It is surrounded by an impressive garden, which recently won the price as Italy’s most beautiful private park. Behind the villa is Barbarossa mountain that Axel Munthe turned into a sanctuary for migratory birds. Villa San Michele houses an important art collection of Roman, Etruscan, and Egyptian origin.
Monte Solaro
Monte Solaro is a mountain on the island of Capri and the highest point of Capri. It offers a beautiful panoramic view of the island that extends across the whole of the island of Capri, the surrounding Bay of Naples, the Amalfi Coast, and as far as the distant mountains of Calabria. The mountain is visited by many species of birds, including peregrine falcons.
Arco Naturale
Arco Naturale is a natural arch on the east coast of the island of Capri dating from the Paleolithic age and is the remains of a collapsed grotto. The arch spans 12 m at a height of 18 m above ground and consists of limestone forming a bridge between two pillars of rock. There are a number of scenic overlooks that let you enjoy the view from directly under the stone formation or you can enjoy views of the Natural Arch from the sea.
