Discover The Blue Island
Arco Naturale - Grotta di Matermania - Pizzolungo - Tragara
This bold Arch is what remains of a large grotto that penetrated the mountain. The waves of the sea extended its aperture and washed away its debris.

Anacapri: Damecuta - Blue Grotto
From the Piazza of Anacapri, on a road that passes Via Pagliaro and the windmill and winds through orchards and vineyards, you will reach the entrance to the excavations of Damecuta, another of Tiberius villas, and the Blue Grotto (1 hour on foot, 15 minutes by car).

Anacapri: Punta Carena and Faro (Lighthouse)
A seaside resort and landing place, this picturesque inlet situated to the west of the island, is set in a typically Mediterranean landscape.

Anacapri: La Migliera
The current road retraces the ancient route of the Roman road which from Capodimonte, the limit of the Graeco-Roman staircase, crossed the higher part of the territory of Anacapri to reach the Belvedere overhanging the Tuoro and Limmo creeks.

Anacapri: Mount Solaro - Cetrella - Villa San Michele

Blue grotto and tour around the island

Capri: Belvedere Cannone
The French placed a cannon in the strategic location of this plateau in 1808 to defend the island's southern sector. In the 20th century, and during the period of residence of the numerous colony of German painters who stopped here to paint, it was known as Malerplatte (Painters'Square).

Capri: The Gardens of Augustus - Via Krupp - Certosa - Tragara
The Gardens of Augustus are only few minutes' walk from the Piazzetta, near the Via Krupp, the road which was the idea of A. F. Krupp, the German steel industrialist, who ?for this end- purchased the Fondo Certosa? (Certosa Estate), on a part of which rise the Gardens.
