Capri is one of the most enchanting islands in the world, and a “must” on the international circuit. For centuries, writers, poets, painters and artists have fallen under its spell and also, many directors have chosen the island as the set for their films. Capri is, still today, the pearl of the Naples’ Bay and a favorite holiday destination for famous people and VIPs that you can easily meet at the “piazzetta” while drinking a nice coffee. One of the island’s first adepts was the Roman emperor Tiberius, who spent the last year of his life on Capri Island. The sea and the environment is amazing, with incredible colors: the intense blue of the deep water, the crystalline turquoise in the inlets, the white rocks in the blazing sun and the grey of the cliff tops which fade into the azure above. Capri is popular all year round, particularly at weekends. If you visit the island in spring or autumn when the climate is still good and the island is not so crowded, you will really feel you are in a paradise. The icon of Capri Island are The Faraglioni: three immense, 80-100 meter high stacks, the impressive forms of which have been created by the erosive action of the wind and sea.
