Description
Capri (Isola di Capri) is a world-famous island in the Gulf of Naples and an elegant Mediterranean retreat in southern Italy. The limestone island is known for its spectacular cliffs, deep-blue sea, and iconic natural wonders such as the Blue Grotto and the striking Faraglioni rock formations.
