Why visit Capri?
Capri functions as a dramatic limestone outcrop rising from the Tyrrhenian Sea, defined by the jagged silhouette of the Faraglioni rock formations. Visitors begin in the Marina Grande, where hydrofoils arrive before the funicular whisks them up to the Piazzetta. Walking the Via Krupp, a historic switchback path carved directly into the cliffside, reveals the crystalline azure waters of the Marina Piccola below. By mid-morning, explore the ruins of Villa Jovis, the sprawling mountaintop retreat of Emperor Tiberius, which offers unparalleled views stretching toward the Sorrentine Peninsula.
Culinary traditions here favor the bounty of the Gulf of Naples. Start with a Caprese salad at a terrace restaurant using buffalo mozzarella from the mainland and vine-ripened tomatoes. Follow this with ravioli capresi, stuffed with caciotta cheese and marjoram, tossed in a simple tomato and basil sauce. For dessert, the torta caprese, a dense flourless chocolate and almond cake, is ubiquitous. Spend afternoons wandering the lush, manicured gardens of Villa San Michele in Anacapri, then traverse the chairlift to the summit of Monte Solaro for the island’s highest perspective. As evening nears, sip a chilled limoncello made from local Sorrento lemons while observing the social ritual unfolding in the island’s sun-drenched central squares.
