Capri, Italy

Capri is an Italian island off the Sorrentine Peninsula, situated 5 km from the mainland in the Bay of Naples, Italy. Located on the south side of the Gulf of Naples, it has been a celebrated beauty spot and resort since the time of the Roman Republic.

Features of the island are the Marina Piccola (Small Harbor), the Belvedere of Tragara, which is a high panoramic promenade lined with villas, the limestone masses that stand out of the sea (the Faraglioni), Anacapri, the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra), and the ruins of the Imperial Roman villas.

The central piazzetta of Capri, though preserving its modest village architecture, is lined with luxury boutiques, expensive restaurants, and paparazzi chasing celebrities. During summers, the island is heavily touristed, often by day trippers from Naples and Sorrento.
