Common description
Capri is a small and very picturesque island in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Administratively located in the Italian region of Campania. The island is not difficult to get around even on foot - because its length is 6 km and its width is only 3 km.
Capri has an ancient history - since the time of the Roman Empire, he gained the fame of a popular seaside resort among wealthy Romans.
There is a beautiful Blue Grotto on the island, which, after its beauty was described by the famous German poet and artist August Kopisch, actually became a symbol of Capri, its emblem. Another attraction is the dilapidated villa of Jupiter, in which, as it is known, the Roman emperor Tiberius lived.
And another Roman emperor, Octavian Augustus, called Capri “a paradise of idleness,” so they come here to “forget and forget” - forget about everyday life and forget among the surrounding beauties. It should be remembered that there are very few beaches, there are no sandy beaches at all, most hotels are located at a certain distance from the sea, so they don’t go here for a beach holiday.
