Top 10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Capri, Campania

December 31, 2021 Marissa Gamble

Capri is pure romance—dramatic views, the bluest ocean you’ve ever seen, even the scent of lemon blossoms in the air. The luminescent Blue Grotto, striking Faraglioni Rocks and the Palazzo al Mare are popular with travelers, but for a real treat, snorkel at Marina Piccola beach. It’s said to be the spot where Odysseus nearly succumbed to the Sirens’ song… a fitting legend for this alluring island.

I Faraglioni

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

Reviewed By Bidule005 - France, null

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!

Belvedere di Tragara

Reviewed By StephenCr0ss - Dublin, Ireland

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

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.

Piazza Umberto I

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.

Chiesa di Santo Stefano

Reviewed By Pitterrier - Palm Beach, United States

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
