Capri

Capri
Capri, a small island in Italy's Bay of Naples, is a place that dazzles visitors with its remarkable beauty and luxurious atmosphere. The island's dramatic landscape features rugged cliffs that plunge into the crystal-clear blue Mediterranean waters, creating a stunning backdrop that has attracted travelers for centuries.
The island may be small, but it's packed with attractions. The famous Blue Grotto, a sea cave illuminated by an otherworldly blue light, is perhaps Capri's most iconic sight. The Gardens of Augustus offer breathtaking views of the Faraglioni rock formations jutting out from the sea.
Capri has a rich history dating back to ancient Rome. Emperor Tiberius was so captivated by the island's beauty that he spent the last ten years of his life here, building Villa Jovis, whose ruins can still be visited today. During the 20th century, Capri became a playground for the international jet set, attracting celebrities and artists who contributed to its reputation for glamour and sophistication.
The island's cuisine is another highlight, with fresh seafood and local specialties like Insalata Caprese (made with locally produced mozzarella) and Limoncello liqueur made from Capri's fragrant lemons. Whether you're exploring the narrow streets of Capri Town or enjoying the more laid-back atmosphere of Anacapri, this Italian island offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, history, and dolce vita.
