The natural beauty of Capri

Capri is a favoured destination for international tourism, not only for its natural beauty, but also for its millennial history and a temperate climate, influenced by the sea.

Emperor Augusto, visiting the island in the 29 BC, was the first to build a villa. After him many other emperors stayed there, such as Tiberius. After the island had for some time part of the Duchy of Naples. This is testified by the beautiful architecture of churches and monasteries that can be admired in the city centre.

The beaches are all small and nice in large part made up of pebbles and set among the rocks. But there are also other nice elengant beaches. Some are accessible only by boat. Blue Grotto is the main attraction of the of Capri island Italy. A natural cave plunged into the sea, characterized by of light effects reflected on the walls and water.

The Faraglioni: the first is attached to the coast and is called Stella some 109 metres high. The second, smaller, is called simply Faraglione and is 81 metres high. The name of the last outside is Scopolo and is 104 metres high. Hotels in Capri are testimony of how the hospitality has become over time, qualified, professional and very attentive to the needs of tourism.

The Caprese kitchen bases its foundations on the plates of fish and vegetables, seasoned mainly with olive oil, it is a composite that derives from the fusion of the cuisine of coast and island seafood.

Do not miss the basic dishes of Mediterranean cuisine such as ravioli Capresi, caprese salad with tomato and mozzarella, caprese cake with chocolate and almonds and finally the fresh Limoncello di Capri and famous wines of Vinicola Tiberio of Anacapri.
