Captivating Capri

Rising from the dazzling jewel that is the Tyrrhenian Sea, the island of Capri captivates.

Near Naples and Sorrento, this rocky island has been used as a resort since the time of the Romans. In the water, the towering sea stacks called faraglioni change moods with the passing clouds. Capri is best known to travelers who come for a day. High on the hills to the west, the smaller hub of Anacapri is not to be missed. Ravaged by pirates during the Middle Ages and occupied by Napoleon, the island never lost its natural beauty.

Stop a while to enjoy the splendor of this tiny place with the full-color photos in Captivating Capri: From Marina Grande to Anacapri (a Travel Photo Art book).
