Top Things to do in Island of Capri
10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Island of Capri That You Shouldn't Miss
The crags and grottoes of Capri have been dazzling visitors since the Ancient Greeks first settled the island. It’s easy to understand why artists and writers have been immortalizing Capri’s beauty and history for centuries. Climb aboard a wooden boat to tour the Grotto Azzurra, a cave filled with spectacularly blue water. Savor some gelato while you stroll around the harbors of Marina Piccola or Marina Grande, an ancient Roman fishing port.

The extraordinary and rugged beauty of Capri is signified by these timeless rock formations jutting from the sea.

From the Arco naturale, we hiked to villa Malaparte and to Faraglioni de Capri, which are 3 iconic rocky peaks of the island. Their name comes directly from the geological term “faraglione”, meaning “rocky mass detached from the coast by erosion”. We were amazed by: - the Faraglione di Terra the highest (109 meters), which is still attached to the island - Faraglione di Mezzo (81 meters), which is crossed by a natural arch - Faraglione di Fuori (104 meters), which is the furthest from the coast - Scoglio del Monacone, which is more distant and whose name comes from the presence of monk seals, in older times. Altogether, I highly Recommend to hike to Faraglioni de Capri! Unfonrtunately, because we only spent one day in Capri, we had not time to go to Faraglioni using motor boat to have wonderful viewpoints on Faraglioni. I’ll come back!

Great lookout in the front of the hotel. Can be busy but who is in a hurry over here? It’s the start of the walking path to the restaurant on the shore and the beach club. Recommended

An elegant and beautiful garden and vantage point for viewing the pristine beauty of the oceans of Capri. We enjoyed the beauty.
5. Villa Lysis

Reviewed By W9335RQmarkj - Marlow, United Kingdom
An uphill walk from Capri centre of about a mile or so is well worth the trouble to see the restored villa Lysis and it's incredible views over Capri harbour and across the bay of Naples. You can walk the coastal path up to villa Jovis from here also and although it is not far as the crow flies it is quite steep and rocky in places and not suited for the infirm or unfit and is probably around 1km in length with a vertical climb of a couple of hundred metres or so. Alternatively you can double back on the main path and take the inland path to villa Jovis which is much easier.

Take a walk around the center of town to meet the locales, relax at a trattoria or watch the people go by from any of the park benches surrounding this busy square.
Reviewed By 318nd - Lincolnshire, United Kingdom
The square isn’t big, but it is beautiful. It is just off a row of expensive shops, with a clock tower, crowds of tourists, and cafes with outdoor seating. Take a table and have a drink and a bite to eat, it will cost you, but it will be worth it.

Went to Sunday 10:30am Mass and was surprised to see a pretty full church. The priest was young and though I do not speak Italian, I heard “infidelity” several times, so I got his message load and clear. It is warm inside in August so ladies bring a fan.

We knew where to meet our group thanks to this beautiful clock tower. The piazza itself is lovely and I’m sure the click tower gets everyone’s attention for a photo
