Capri & Anacapri
Capri is part of the region of Campania, Province of Naples. The island of Capri is composed of two municipalities: Capri and Anacapri. The town of Capri is the island’s main population centre (12,200 thousand) while Anacapri has only 7,000 thousand inhabitants and was built on a high plateau. The island has a mythical charm, its breathtaking landscapes and beauty stretch from the rocky caves around the island to the edge of the horizon, and has been an inspiration to poets, lovers and travellers throughout the centuries.
Capri has been a resort since the Ancient Greeks first settled the island and is a popular tourist destination for both Italians and foreigners. Some of the main features of the island include the Marina Piccola (the little harbour), the Belvedere of Tragara (a high panoramic promenade lined with villas), the limestone crags called sea stacks that project above the sea (the Faraglioni) and the ruins of the villa of the Roman Emperor Tiberius (Villa Jovis).
The town of Anacapri is renowned for the chairlift (seggiovia) to 589-m Monte Solaro and the Villa San Michele, the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) and for its quiet atmosphere.
