In the deep blue of the Gulf of Naples, like a gem set among the waves, emerges Capri, an island that enchants with its wild beauty and timeless charm.
Located in front of the Sorrento peninsula, administratively divided between the municipalities of Capri and Anacapri, this small island has been a sought-after destination for travelers of all eras for centuries, attracted by its millennial history, its breathtaking landscapes, and its lively and cosmopolitan atmosphere.
It hasn't always been an island; in fact, it was attached to the Sorrento peninsula before being partially submerged and becoming the iconic Capri.
The caves, hidden under the imposing rocky mantle, represent one of the distinctive elements of this landscape, on which Mount Solaro and Mount Tiberio stand out.
These natural cavities, shaped by the incessant action of the sea and wind, have always fascinated man, becoming safe havens, places of worship, and a source of inspiration for myths and legends.
In Roman times, the caves of Capri assumed an even more important role, transforming into sumptuous nymphaea, that is, environments decorated with statues and water features, within the prestigious villas that the aristocracy and the emperors themselves had built on the island.
It still holds immense treasures such as Villa Jovis, one of the 12 villas built during the Roman Empire by Emperor Tiberius, used as his residence first and by Julius Caesar Augustus later.
Besides Villa Jovis, two villas have maintained their structure over the years, Villa Damecuta and Palazzo a Mare.
The island is a true treasure trove of natural beauty; among the most famous attractions, the Blue Grotto stands out, a natural cavity where sunlight creates magical reflections on the water, an iconic symbol of Capri, the Faraglioni, Cala Ventrosa, the White Grotto, Green Grotto, Red Grotto, and Marvelous Grotto.
The beating heart of the island is the famous Piazzetta, a small space surrounded by bars, restaurants, and luxury boutiques, where tourists from all over the world and famous people meet.
Capri is an island that surprises and fascinates, a place where history, nature, and social life blend into a unique and unforgettable mix.
A trip to Capri is an experience that remains etched in the heart and memory, an opportunity to discover a corner of paradise in the heart of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
