The gorgeous Villa San Michele in Anacapri is probably best described by the words of its owner, Axel Munthe: "My home shall be open for the sun and the wind and the voices of the sea - like a Greek temple - and light, light, light everywhere!" And he did it! He built an architectural masterpiece at 327 meters above sea level, at the top of the Phoenician Steps which opens up breathtaking views of the entire area, the rocks, the turquoise waters and the blue sky. He filled it with Roman artifacts from the island, Egyptian and Etruscan art on display to complement the beauty of the villa, the view and the gorgeous gardens which surround it.
Soak in the glamorous atmosphere of Capri's central plaza, The Piazzetta, where celebrities, locals and tourists alike relax with cocktails. Stake out a happy hour table at one of the cafes to refresh and rejuvenate yourself before taking a stroll along Via Vittorio Emanuele and Via Camerelle, stopping to windowshop at the luxury boutiques.
Marina Piccola is the best spot to take a dip in the turquoise sea waters, protected from the wind by the hills and concentrating the warm southern sun of Capri. This is the same gorgeous beach where against the backdrop of the dramatic Faraglioni rock formations, the mysterious sirens tried to seduce Ulysess with their songs according the the classic story of Odysseus.
Fashion boutiques and designer shops line this beautiful street and create the perfect spot for luxury shopping.
Once the entrance to a limestone grotto which collapsed hundreds of years ago, the grandiose Arco Naturale, now stands majestically over the blue sea waters. This Natural Arch of Capri will mesmerize you with the scenic contrast between the dark stone and the bright blue waters.
The Phoenician Steps which connect the port of Marina Grande and the town of Anacapri provide 921 vintage points to admire the beauty of Capri... in the form of 921 stone steps of course. This major attraction is easier to climb than to descent and requires effort... But, hey, as they say: "No Pain - No Gain!". The Phoenician Steps, which recently turned out to have been actually built by the Greeks, start off at Marina Grande, close to Palazzo al Mare, pass by the ancient chapel dedicated to St. Antonio of Padua, the patron saint of Anacapri and finish up at the stone arch once symbolizing the border between Capri and Anacapri. Once you cross the arch, you'll have to visit the gorgeous Villa San Michele and reward yourself for the efforts by admiring the incredible views before your eyes.
Pizzolungo is the most breathtaking of all Capri's trails where natural beauties follow one after the other around the southern coast of the island. The adventure begins right after you leave the charming town of Capri and the incredible nature of the island surrounds you from all sides. Admire the Natural Arch and the Faraglioni Rocks, visit the mysterious Grotta di Matermania, admire the luxurious mansions picking from the sides masked by the Mediterranean vegetation and make sure you stop to stare at the view from Tragara Point.
Monte Solaro rises about 600 meters over the sea level and provides the most picturesque views of the entire area of Capri, the Gulf of Naples, the Sorrento peninsula and, on a clear day, even the Gulf of Salerno. Getting to the top of Monte Solaro is an experience in itself. You can take the path leading to the top and spend about an hour hiking the mountain or take the Chairlift, just a few steps from Piazza Vittoria of Anacapri, and get to the top in 15 minutes. Either way, you'll love the trip as much as the destination! The highest point of the island of Capri is the perfect spot for 360 panoramic views of the gorgeous surroundings.
Zigzag down the unique Via Krupp to the Marina Piccola while admiring the gorgeous views along each curve.
These small gardens open up a grand, fabulous view of the incredible Faraglioni Rocks and the unique Via Krupp which will leave you speechless.
Take a small rowing boat and head to the legendary Blue Grotto. Once you go through the tiny entrance of the cave, a magical world opens up in front of your eyes where the bright blue waters drastically contrast with the dark rocks. If you are lucky, your boatman will sing a beautiful song so you can admire the acoustic of this magical place.
The Faraglioni Rocks are Capri's most iconic site. The three towering rock formations come straight out of the Mediterranean and make up the famous scenic background. For a complete Capri experience, take a boat and go through the famous arch of the Faraglioni.
