Located in the southern part of the Gulf of Naples in Italy, the island of Capri is one of the brightest jewels in the Mediterranean Sea. This limestone island is famous for its steep cliffs, crystal clear waters and mysterious blue holes, which are known as “natural wonders” because of their ethereal blue glow due to sunlight refraction. The island retains remnants of the ancient Roman Empire, such as the ruins of Emperor Tiberius' palace, and the Gardens of Augustus with their terraced landscape overlooking the bay. The winding streets are lined with boutiques and cafes, with specialty lemon liqueurs and seafood delicacies. With yachting in the summer and peace and quiet in the winter, it's a vacation destination that combines natural charm with a human touch.
