5 Things You Should Definitely See in Capri, Italy — Capri, Italy - Boat for tourists in the Marina Grande harbor.

Capri has always been considered the queen of the Phlegraean Islands, those that are part of the Gulf of Naples in Italy. It has always been a magnet for international-class tourism so much so that you could bet and easily win on online casinos in Michigan that it’s one of the favorite destinations for a certain type of visitor all along.

For those who are looking for unforgettable experiences, Capri should be placed at the top of their list of trips to do at least once in their lives in Italy. Capri will always amaze you and every corner will leave you speechless: here are 5 things to see on the island.

The Blue Grotto

The emblem of the whole of Capri, the Blue Grotto is the main feature of the island, which attracts tourists from all over the world to Italy. It is a cave 25 meters wide and 60 meters long with an entrance less than a meter high; to enter the cave you literally have to lie down on a wooden boat, and this is the only way to visit the Blue Grotto.

It can be reached by boat with special tours but also on foot, arriving in Anacapri and following the road to the Blue Grotto. The best time to enter is between 12 and 14 when the sun’s rays penetrate between the rocks making the reflections of the water even bluer.

The Faraglioni of Capri

You can see them from a distance and they represent another typical postcard from Capri: they are the Faraglioni, three rocks that emerge from the sea and that characterize the panorama of the entire Gulf of Naples.

The Faraglioni cannot be visited on foot but can be admired perfectly from the sea, and if you decide to participate in an organized tour around the island, you will pass under the arch of the central Faraglioni.

The Piazzetta

The fashionable center of Capri actually called Piazza Umberto I but given its small size it has always been called the Piazzetta (little square). This area of Capri is crowded both by day and by night, thanks to the many restaurants and outdoor bars that host tourists and locals.

Villa Jovis

Villa Jovis is one of the villas that the Roman emperor Tiberius had built on Capri and where he retired to escape from the city. Today only the ruins remain, which can be visited to enjoy a piece of history and a truly incredible view of the sea and the island. Before entering the Villa, which you visit for a fee, make a stop at the Astarita Park to rest in front of the sea of Capri.

Anacapri

The quietest part of Capri, even in the middle of summer. In addition to its flower-decorated streets, Anacapri is also home to the distinctive Red House with its different architectural styles and the two churches of San Michele and Santa Sofia. In Anacapri, you won’t even feel as if you’re on the island of Capri, but rather as if you’ve suddenly arrived on some remote Greek island.
