Stop 1 Pass by

The Blue Grotto is one of the most famous attractions on the island of Capri. To reach it you need a rowing boat guided strictly by authorized boatmen. The cave is accessed by lying on the bottom of the boat as the entrance is only one meter high. The interior offers a breathtaking show with its colors that enchant the sight.

Monte Solaro is the highest point on the island (589 meters above sea level) from which you can witness the most beautiful view of Capri. From here you can see the whole island, the Gulf of Naples, the Sorrento Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast.

Stop 3 Pass by

The Faraglioni are the symbol of Capri Island. These are three rock peaks that emerge from the water, not far from the coast, and have an average height of 100 meters. The central Faraglione is characterized by the opening of an arch.

Stop 4 Pass by

The Augustus' Gardens are a series of flowered terraces overlooking, on one side, the Faraglioni and, on the other, the Bay of Marina Piccola and the famous Via Krupp.
