The Isle of Capri, is one of
the most popular destinations in Italy!
Soaring
upward from the sea, with sweeping views, whitewashed homes and villas,
fragrant lemon trees, narrow winding lanes, and flower-filled courtyards.
Interesting places to visit are: The Bold Arch,
what remains of a large grotto that penetrated the mountain, Villa
Jovis - Mount Tiberio the most outstanding of all the
Tiberian villas, the Gardens of Augustus only a few minutes walk from the
Piazzetta, The Charterhouse of St. Giacomo whose foundations date
back to 1371 and is believed that it was built on the remains of
previous Roman buildings.
Touring the island is relatively simple. You dock at unremarkable Marina
Grande, the port area. You can then take the funicular up the steep hill to
the town of Capri above, where you'll find the major hotels, restaurants,
cafes, and shops. From Capri, a short bus ride will deliver you to Anacapri,
also perched at the top of the island near Monte Solaro and discover the
magic and famous Blue Grotto that must not be missed. The only other
settlement you might want to visit is Marina Piccola, on the south side of
the island, with the major beach. There are also beaches at Punta Carnea and
Bagni di Tiberio. |
