Capri, Mediterranean island in Gulf of Naples, Italy
The limestone island extends 6.3 kilometers in length and rises to 589 meters at Monte Solaro, featuring steep coastal cliffs and two harbors.
Emperor Tiberius relocated the Roman Empire's administration to Capri in 27 AD, constructing Villa Jovis and governing from this location until his death.
The rediscovery of the Blue Grotto in 1826 transformed Capri into a destination for European artists and writers seeking Mediterranean inspiration.
Frequent ferry connections operate from Naples and Sorrento throughout the year, while summer services extend to Positano and the Amalfi Coast.
The Faraglioni rock formations emerge from the sea along the southern coast, creating natural stone arches and hosting rare blue lizards.
