From here you have a 360 degree view, overlooking both the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Sorrento. There is so much we didn't see or do on this magnificent island. There are caves to explore, most notably the Blue Grotto, Roman ruins to visit, or take a short trip to the small resort of Marina Piccola on the southern end, or to the Villa Jovis close to the summit of Monte Tiberio, on the edge of the high cliffs. This is the largest and best preserved villa built by Emperor Tiberius. Capri is expensive and boasts some of the highest prices in Italy.
Local women weave and hand embroider fabrics, still a thriving business on the island.
But the best of Capri is found off the beaten track, away from the crowds, where you can marvel at the beautiful surroundings in peace and quiet. Small pathways lead away to quaint gardens, filled with fragrant flowers, lemon trees laden with fruit, olive trees, and small patches of vegetables. Music escapes from open windows, and you can listen to the locals chatter in their native language. Pass through steep, narrow streets, where it's shady and cool, where no car can travel, and where beautiful iron gates lead to small court yards, always decorated with colorful flowers. And everywhere the view and the deep blue sea below, a sight we never tired of.
