Capri is one of
the most famous islands in Europe. On the south side of the
Gulf of Naples, it has been a celebrated beauty spot and
resort since the time of the Roman Republic. The features
are a litany of postcard views: the Marina Piccola (Small
Harbor), the Belvedere of Tragara, which is a high panoramic
promenade lined with villas, the limestone masses that stand
out of the sea (the 'Faraglioni'), the Blue Grotto ('Grotta
Azzurra'). Above all are the ruins of the Imperial Roman
villas, like Villa Jovis. The City of Capri is the
main centre of population on Capri. It has two adjoining
harbours, Marina Piccola and Marina Grande (the main port of
the island). The town of Anacapri is located high on
the hills west from the City of Capri. Capri is a tourist
destination for both Italians and foreigners. In the 1950s,
it became a popular destination for the international jet
set. The central piazzetta of Capri is lined with luxury
boutiques, expensive restaurants, and paparazzi chasing
celebrities. During the summer, the island is heavily
touristed. To savour the wonderful light and atmosphere of
the island it is best to be out and about early in the
morning and out of the high season.

Our itinerary
Your visit to the
isle of Capri will take a whole day. One of our
professional Tour Guides will assist you since
your departure (by boat or hydrojet) from
Sorrento or Naples. Once in Capri, you can
choose between a round boat trip of the isle (the
best option to have admire all its beauties),
and a visit of the villages of
Capri and Anacapri. In Capri you can
stroll around the “Piazzetta” and have a
look at the most fashioned shops of the isle;
you will visit the Cartusia of Saint Giacomo
and the Augustus Gardens, from where you
will enjoy a breathtaking view over the
Faraglioni. If you still have time, you can
visit Villa Jovis and the Belvedere of
Tragara but… don’t forget that Villa Jovis
is at least 20 minutes walk from the centre of
Capri!
In Anacapri you
will visit Villa San Michele, the old
residence of the swedish doctor Axel Munthe,
and the Phoenician Starway; if you want,
you can take the chairlift to the
Mount Solaro, for another wonderful view
around the two Bays of Salerno and Naples.
