"Capri on the Amalfi Coast in Italy is my ultimate holiday destination."
-- Vidal Sassoon===================================================================
(in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the Sorrento Peninsula, on the south side of the Gulf of Naples in the Campania region of Italy) Capri is a dreamy island where ancient Roman emperors, famous writers,, and glamorous celebrities have all found inspiration and relaxation. Visitors can explore the ruins of Villa Jovis, the lavish residence of Emperor Tiberius, or admire the views from Villa Lysis, the poetic retreat of Jacques d'Adelswärd-Fersen. One can also take a chairlift to the top of Monte Solaro, the highest point on the island, and enjoy a vista of the sea and the sky. Or, you can hop on a boat and cruise around the island, to find the enchanting caves and grottos that dot the coastline, like the famous Blue Grotto. (Capri is a place to indulge in the beauty of nature, the charm of history, and the elegance of culture.)
+The rough cliffs and crystal clear waters of this small island seem to be created straight from dreams and mythology. It's rumored to be where the seductive sirens sang to Odysseus and his sailors in Homer's "The Odyssey," and one can see why their offer was so tantalizing. From bright green trees and gardens to colorful marinas and squares, Capri is a paradisiacal destination every bit as beautiful as artistic renderings make it out to be. The small getaway in the Bay of Naples has been a hot spot for royalty and celebrities since the Roman times. Thus, it is flush with world-class restaurants, breathtaking hikes, five-star hotels, and chic shops. Whether you're visiting for a daytrip or for a month-long vacation, you'll be smitten with the laid-back charm of Capri and yearn to return as soon as possible.
A popular way to see the natural wonders of this southern Italian island is by boat. Popular attractions such as the Blue Grotto, Green Grotto, and Faraglioni can be seen during a short trip circumnavigating the island. But you can easily stay on land to have a good time as well. Two walkable and attractive towns, Capri and Anacapri, have shops, historical attractions, and restaurants littered within their winding streets. And two attractive beaches sit on either side of the island at either Marina Grande or Marina Piccola. If you are a history buff, you can visit multiple museum complexes showcasing Capri's storied past. And if you enjoy getting outside and finding the perfect view, you can either take the chairlift up Mount Solaro or take a hike to the Natural Arch.
+ Since the second half of the 19th century, Capri has gradually become one of the most popular resorts in southern Italy, famous for its magnificent scenery and the mild climate in which vegetation flourishes. The flora is among the most varied in Italy, and large numbers of migratory birds rest here for days. There are fine bathing beaches and numerous hotels and villas, and Capri is connected with Naples and Sorrento by frequent steamer and hydrofoil services.
