Capri

capri travel guide
The main attraction is La Brotta Azzurra, the Blue Grotto, perhaps the most famous cave in all of Italy. Unless you swim there you must take the costly boat ride. The water there appears to glow and make the walls shimmer with blue. Follow the hiking trails for lovely panoramic views of the island. Villa San Michelle is a villa in Anacapri worth seeing for its sculptures, 17th-century furniture, and gardens with outdoor concerts. Villa Jovis can be reached by walking about an hour from Capri proper. It's a Roman villa which can now be toured in all its ruined glory, the bathrooms, the living quarters, the gardens, and the halls.

Twenty miles from Naples, rising abruptly out of the azure gulf, is the little island of Capri, its shape something like a gigantic hour glass. It seems to exercise a peculiar fascination on all visitors to Naples, and few can withstand the temptation of braving the not always pacific Bay of Naples, in order to visit the island which has inspired so many pens. The special characteristic of the Capri climate is the softness and mildness of the atmosphere. Without being actually relaxing, it is not so stimulating as the Riviera climate. It is also very equable, and there is no unwholesome chill at sunset, as in the former place, or even at Naples, only twenty miles off.

» Capri excursions -Capri is an island which some people love and some people hate. Those against the island are generally those who arrive for a daytrip, and find an expensive commercialised destination crammed to bursting with other daytrippers. Others, however, love the combination of island simplicity, natural beauty and busy glitz. And if you stay overnight, you'll find a different Capri. After the last daytrippers leave, a kind of exclusive peace settles over the island as those who are privileged to be staying overnight emerge for their evening passeggiata, or to sip drinks on the famous little square, the Piazzetta.
