The island, with an area of 11 kmq. And about 13.000 inhabitants, is the second largest for size in the Gulf of Naples.

It is the only island of the gulf that is not of volcanic origin and his geologically an extension of the Sorrento peninsula only 5 km. away.

It emerges from a deep sea, mountains, with sheep cliffs, many cavities and caves marks the coastline along with fantastic shaped rocks.

Capri has been inhabitateds since the Palaeolithic era when it was attacked to the Sorrento peninsula.

The name comes from an paleoitalic place-name that means island of the wild goats, it became famous in imperial roman times, after the emperor Tiberius moved there and had construed 12 villas, of which however only three can be seen today, we can visit the ruins of Villa Jovis built on mount Tiberius from which enjoy a stupendous view.

Rich is the flora which includes about 850 species of plants, even though the island has no natural water source.

From Anacapri by chairlift we reach the summit of Mount Solaro, along a typical small way we arrive to the house-museum of Axel Munthe, Villa S, Michele, certainly one of the most beautiful example of moresca architecture in the Campania region.

In Capri going across the Piazzetta, the heart of mundane island life, we can reach the Giardini di Augusto, a small park with a stupendous view of the Faraglioni.

Around Capri you find about 65 caves, the most famous is the Blue Grotto, a visit of the island is not complete without a minicruise to admire the incredible coloration that the sea water assumes, with tones that vary from emerald green to an intense blue.
