About Capri
Capri is arguably the most beautiful island in the Med where you’ll discover tranquil lanes leading to romantic cliff-top viewpoints, hidden pine-fringed coves, sub-tropical gardens and a kaleidoscope of secret turquoise bays and sea grottoes. It also offers high cultural interest with Imperial villas standing alongside Gothic monasteries, and ruined watchtowers overlooking Royal Palaces. Pompeii and Herculaneum are easy day trips, and the coastal towns of Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi are just short ferry ride away.
