Capri, A Coastal Island of Flowers and Beaches
The municipality of Capri, Italy, is located on the Capri Island off the coast of the Campania region. The city serves as the island’s main town, with the center and eastern side under its rules. The west side of the island, on the other hand, belongs to the other town of Anacapri. Being a coastal city, Capri is dotted with hotels and accommodations, from budget-friendly to luxurious.
Best Time to Visit
Capri is generally busy during the Easter holidays when the town is packed with visitors for the long weekend. Spring is undoubtedly the prettiest season of the year as the tropical flowers fill the island breeze of jasmine and orange blossom scents. The crowd is also thinner by this time of year, so most of Capri, Italy hotels are less expensive. On the other hand, the city is pretty packed come summer.
What to Do & Area Attractions
Two of the popular ports in the area are the Marina Grande to the north of Capri and Marina Piccola to the south. The two ports are only about a six-minute drive from each other and have both served as major fishing ports back in the ancient times. If you’re into the local culture, a visit to the Villa Jovis is definitely a must. Villa Jovis serves as the biggest among the 12 Roman palaces commissioned by emperor Tiberius on the island. Complete your Capri vacation with a relaxing stay at the coastal hotels of Villa Marina Capri Hotel & Spa and Caesar Augustus, Relais & Chateaux Hotel, both of which offers a stunning view of the Gulf of Naples.
