Things to do
 
The Blue Grotto - a sea cave on the coast of the island of Capri, southern Italy. Sunlight, passing through an underwater cavity and shining through the seawater, creates a blue reflection that illuminates the cavern.
 
Monte Solaro - a mountain on the island of Capri in Campania, Italy. With an elevation of 589 m, its peak is the highest point of Capri. It contains the "Fortino di Bruto", a blockhouse which was used in battles between Britain and France in the early 19th century
 
Via Krupp - a historic switchback paved footpath on the island of Capri, connecting the Charterhouse of San Giacomo and the Gardens of Augustus area with Marina Piccola. Commissioned by German industrialist Friedrich Alfred Krupp, the path covers an elevation difference of about 100 m.
 
Punta Carena Lighthouse - an active lighthouse, located on the island of Capri on the head of the same name, about 3 kilometres southwest of Anacapri. The lighthouse has been active since 1867; its construction began in 1862.
