Visit and discover Marina Grande and Marina Piccola, Cloister of San Francesco, Bagni della Regina Giovanna, Cathedral and Bell Tower, Basilica of Sant'Antonino, Villa Comunale, Correale di Terranova Museum, Museo-Bottega della Tarsia Lignea (Wooden Marquetry Shop-Museum), and so much more.

Capri is famous for its wonderful natural beauty, deep-rooted history, mild climate and bright landscape. Inhabited since the Paleolithic era, when it was joined to the mainland, the island was first Greek and later Roman. Caesar Augustus visited it in 29 B.C. and was the first to build a villa here. After the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, the island belonged to the Longobards, Normans, Anjouins, Aragonese and the Spanish. Following the rediscovery on the Blue Grotto in the 19th century, artists, intellectuals, writers, exiles, eccentrics and wealthy visitors chose it as residence, contributing to form the highly varied cosmopolitan international colony that has made the name of Capri famous throughout the world.
Visit and explore the Blue Grotto, Grotta Azzurra: The most fascinating of the island's many caves. Refraction of sunlight into the cave makes an iridescent blue light in the water. The Blue Grotto has been known and used since prehistoric times. Stone artifacts were found inside the cave and it was a favorite pool of the Romans during the time Emperor Tiberius had his villas on the island and so muc more.
