Capri
A rocky island of glamour, sea caves and sea-stack views just off the Sorrento coast.
For storytellers
Why Capri matters
Capri has attracted emperors and celebrities for two thousand years. A cable car lifts you to the chic piazzetta, and from there paths lead to cliff gardens, ruined Roman villas and views of sea stacks rising from the water. Boat trips circle the island and reach the famous Blue Grotto. It is crowded in the middle of the day, so staying overnight changes the experience.
Talking points
- The Roman emperor Tiberius had a villa here.
- Boat trips circle the island and visit sea caves.
- The funicular from the harbour is the main way up to town.
- Day-trippers leave in the evening, when the island turns quiet.
