Local Travel Tip

When planning your trip to Italy, places such as Rome, Florence, and Pompeii instantly come to your mind. But whatever you do, don’t miss the opportunity to visit the small island of Capri–possibly the most gorgeous place on Earth.

Unlike other parts of Italy, Capri has somehow managed to keep the slow, relaxed pace of living. Anyone who visits the island will instantly feel relaxed  as they are bathed in the warm, perfumed air.

Three places you DON’T want to miss when visiting Capri:

The Grotta Azzurra

An incredible natural wonder, this cave emits a bright, blue light. This breathtaking sight is something that cannot be matched and you’ll never forget. The cave can only be entered at certain times of the year when the water level is low, so plan your trip in advance to go during optimal seasons.

Anacapri

The city of Anacapri rests at the top of a mountain. A chairlift ride is offered to take you from the main city to the top of the mountain, where the view of the island is absolutely stunning. While in Anacapri, take the time to wander the streets and enjoy the atmosphere; inhabited by mostly locals, Anacapri will give you a more genuine experience then other tourist spots on the island.

Faraglioni Rocks

Despite erosion and winds, these famous rocks have somehow managed to survive, and have even been given names. Left to right, we have Stella, Faragilione di Mezzo, and Faraglione di Fuori. The third, Faraglione di Fuori is the only known habitat for a famous species of blue tinted lizard. Take a boat ride around the Island, and make sure you go near the base of these rocks to  experience how tall they really are.
