<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capri <\/strong>is an Italian island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, set in the Bay of Naples. Known for its natural beauty, unspoilt landscapes<\/strong>, and picturesque towns, it lies just across from the Sorrento Peninsula. The best time to visit Capri\u2019s 8 must-see sites<\/strong> is between April and September, when the weather is mild and pleasant. The island<\/strong> is accessible by ferry or hydrofoil from the Amalfi Coast, Naples, or Sorrento. Teritoria takes you on a journey to discover<\/strong> this iconic Mediterranean gem<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explore the town of Capri<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your visit to the island begins in the town of Capri, celebrated for decades for its unique charm. Travellers are drawn to its dual nature: both modern and elegant<\/strong>, yet authentic, natural, and warmly welcoming.There is plenty to enjoy in Capri: from sipping drinks on the chic terraces of Piazza Umberto, to shopping<\/strong> in narrow lanes, or walking through the surrounding countryside.<\/p>\n\n\n

Don’t miss the Via Krupp, a path carved into the rock, the towering Faraglioni rising from the sea, and the Arco Naturale, an impressive natural stone arch, form some of Capri\u2019s most iconic sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk along the coastal path to admire the Arco Naturale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Arco Naturale<\/strong> is a naturally formed arch nearly 20 metres high \u2014 a colossal rock formation that overlooks the entire eastern coast<\/strong> of the island.<\/p>\n\n\n

Shaped over centuries by wave erosion, it remains one of the island\u2019s most popular spots for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Via Krupp<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Via Krupp is considered one of the most beautiful roads in the world, and with good reason. Built between 1900 and 1902, this remarkable structure is truly one of a kind. It was commissioned by Friedrich Alfred Krupp, a German industrialist who fell in love with the island.<\/p>\n\n\n

Krupp\u2019s goal was to create a quick link between the small paths around town and the historic centre of Capri<\/strong>. Today, the Via Krupp is no longer valued for its practicality, but for its charm and beauty. Overlooking the sea, the path begins at the Certosa di San Giacomo and winds down to Marina Piccola<\/strong>. We recommend travellers bring their cameras, the view from the top is truly breathtaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explore Anacapri<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The town of Anacapri <\/strong>offers a completely different atmosphere from Capri. More authentic and less frequented by the jet set, it is noticeably quieter, and just a 10-minute bus ride from its glamorous neighbour.<\/p>\n\n\n

Teritoria recommends visiting the Baroque church, Villa San Michele<\/strong>, and the historic Phoenician Steps. You can reach Marina Grande via this impressive staircase \u2014 but be prepared: it\u2019s a descent of more than 1,000 steps<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

For this experience, it\u2019s best to wear comfortable walking shoes or hiking <\/strong>boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mount Solaro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mount Solaro<\/strong> is the highest point on the island of Capri, rising to 589 metres. Locals call it Acchiappanuvole<\/em>, the \u201ccloud catcher\u201d, a name earned from the mist that often forms at its summit as warm sea air condenses. You can hike to the top in about an hour and a half (for the more adventurous), or take the chairlift for a more leisurely ascent.<\/p>\n\n\n

Teritoria recommends walking at least one way to reach the natural area of Cetrella<\/strong>, which offers one of the most beautiful views on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The villa Jovis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Villa Jovis<\/strong> was the summer residence of Emperor Tiberius<\/strong>, perched on Mount Tiberius in the northeast of the island. Though its grandeur has faded, the villa\u2019s ruins remain a powerful testament to Capri\u2019s imperial past.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

The archaeological site is well worth a visit, much of the structure remains intact, and it\u2019s still remarkably impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gardens of Augustus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Gardens of Augustus<\/strong> are splendid flower gardens perched on the cliffs of Capri. Perfectly maintained, they showcase lush, vibrant vegetation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flower-filled terraces of the gardens overlook the sea and offer ideal vantage points for admiring the Faraglioni<\/strong>, towering rock formations rising from the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blue Grotto<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Blue Grotto<\/strong> is undoubtedly Capri\u2019s most iconic attraction. With its glowing blue waters, it evokes the magic of Mexico\u2019s cenotes. Accessible only by boat, the cave is entered through a narrow opening just above sea level. Despite its popularity, the Blue Grotto is a must-see, one of Capri\u2019<\/strong>s most stunning natural wonders,<\/strong> and perhaps one of the most unforgettable in all of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n

You can also visit the green grotto and the white grotto, named after the light effects reflecting off their walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our must-visit addresses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The final stop: Luxury Villa Excelsior Parco<\/a> to enjoy the island\u2019s gentle way of life. Overlooking the sea, this address is a must for a dolce far niente (doing nothing) stay. The highlight? Breakfast served right on your terrace<\/strong>, with a view<\/strong> from your room and a private jacuzzi<\/strong> to match.<\/p>\n\n\n
