Detailed itinerary

Capri, a stunning gem in the heart of the Gulf of Naples, is a destination that captures the essence of Italian charm with its rugged landscape and unparalleled natural beauty. This enchanting island is world-renowned not only for its breathtaking scenery but also for its sophisticated atmosphere, where luxury and tradition blend harmoniously. In its picturesque streets, you can find elegant boutiques showcasing everything from creations by renowned designers to handcrafted products like the famous limoncello, made with the finest lemons of the region, and the iconic leather sandals, meticulously handcrafted by local artisans.

One of Capri's most iconic and magical spots is the Blue Grotto, a marine cave that, at first glance, seems to immerse visitors in a dreamlike world. The magic happens when sunlight penetrates through an underwater opening, illuminating the cave's waters with a vibrant and surreal blue.

Anacapri, a charming Italian commune located in the Campania region, in the province of Naples, holds a special place on the idyllic island of Capri. With a population of around 5,844 inhabitants, Anacapri offers a peaceful and authentic retreat, contrasting with the bustling town of Capri nearby. Spanning an area of 6.39 km², this picturesque commune is surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, including green hills and panoramic views over the Tyrrhenian Sea.

With a population density of approximately 914.60 inhabitants per km², Anacapri maintains a welcoming and traditional atmosphere, where visitors can explore its narrow streets filled with flowers, local craft shops, and authentic Italian cuisine. The commune is known for its cultural and natural attractions, such as the famous Villa San Michele, offering spectacular views of the island, and Monte Solaro, the highest point on Capri, accessible by a panoramic chairlift.

Stop 3

The Gardens of Augustus (Giardini di Augusto), formerly known as the Krupp Gardens, are a stunning botanical retreat located on the island of Capri, in the Campania region of Italy. These gardens were established in the early 20th century by the German industrialist Friedrich Alfred Krupp, who chose Capri as the site for his mansion. Originally, the gardens were named "Krupp Gardens" until they were renamed in 1918 as "Gardens of Augustus," the title by which they are known today.

The gardens, designed in terraces overlooking the sea, are a true testament to the rich flora of the island of Capri. Among the various ornamental plants and flowers that adorn the site, geraniums, dahlias, and brooms stand out, creating a spectacle of colors and aromas that enchant visitors.

An intriguing feature of the Gardens of Augustus is the monument dedicated to Vladimir Lenin, one of the few of its kind in Italy.
