Villa Jovis
This is the most majestic of all the island residences of Emperor Tiberius, who became the first “tourist” in history to fall in love with Capri and find peace and quiet here after the chaos of ancient Rome. In the 1st century BC, the Emperor ordered the construction of 12 villas on the island, including this one.
The Blue Grotto
The Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) is one of the main attractions of the island of Capri. This is a sea cave through which water passes, consecrated in such a way that it looks blue, like a pure sapphire.
Faraglioni Rocks
Apart from the Blue Grotto, the most iconic view of Capri is its famous Faraglioni. In fact, “faraglioni” is a common Italian word for all rocks sticking out of the water. But the most famous Faraglioni are located in Capri (and also in Puglia, at Cape Gargano).
Villa San Michele
Villa San Michele has become the embodiment of the dream of the Swedish doctor and writer Axel Munthe, who arrived in Capri for the first time at the age of 19 and was conquered by this island. “My house will be open to the sun, and the wind, and the voices of the sea — like a Greek temple — and light, light, light everywhere!”
Mount Solaro
Mount Solaro, whose height reaches 589 m above sea level, is the highest and most visible point of the island of Capri. From its peak, tourists can see not only the Faraglioni cliffs and the city center of Capri, but also the Sorrento Peninsula, the Galli Islands and the entire Bay of Naples.
