Dream destination in the Gulf of Naples
Capri
The extraordinarily beautiful rock island about 5 km off the mainland is the greatest tourist draw in the Gulf of Naples. Every day, up to 15,000 day-trippers are drawn to the 10 km² island by a fantastic landscape, picturesque views of the Gulf of Naples, architecturally interesting villas and the world-famous Blue Grotto.
In spite of this onrush of visitors, most of them concentrating on the standard program of Blue Grotto, Axel Munthe’s Villa San Michele and Piazza Umberto in Capri Town, large parts of Capri have been and are spared these crowds. If you wish to discover this more peaceful and authentic face of the island, you should, however, plan on more than just a day-trip. It is best to explore the island with its two municipalities Capri and Anacapri on foot, off the tourist tracks.
Beauty of nature
and cultural sights/sites
It is extremely beautiful and scenic – the Isle of Capri, divided into two parts by Monte Solaro rising up to 589 m. In the east lies the fashionable town of Capri with Marina Grande harbor, where all visitors set foot on the island, and with its famous piazzetta, which is always bustling with life.
Anacapri to the west appears incomparably more provincial and rural, but no less charming. The two municipalities are connected, amongst others, by Scala Fenicia, a stairway hewn out of the rock and of ancient origin, with 800 steep steps from Chiesa San Costanzo at Capri up to Anacapri.
