About Capri
Capri is a Mediterranean dream - a rocky island of dramatic cliffs, hidden grottoes, and luxurious piazzas rising from the Bay of Naples. The Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra), where sunlight filters through an underwater cavity to create an ethereal blue glow, has mesmerized visitors since Roman emperors swam here.
The Piazzetta is the island's glamorous heart, an intimate square ringed by cafés where the world's elite have people-watched since the 1950s. Villa Jovis, Emperor Tiberius's clifftop palace, and the Natural Arch offer spectacular views, while the chairlift to Monte Solaro provides a 360° panorama of the Amalfi Coast, Vesuvius, and the open sea.
