Emperor Augustus, was the first to tour the island's pleasures, by nicknaming it "City of Sweet Idleness" and since then Capri has drawn every kind of daydreamer. A great rock soars like a dream lost in the cobalt blue sea that surrounds it: this is Capri, the Mediterranean jewel, yearned for and exalted in some of the world's most famous lyric poetry. The intoxicating fragrance of flowers, delicate splashes of colour, recollections of a millennial past and a peaceful charm, shattered only by the shrill cry of seagulls, are just some of the magical qualities of this mythical isle.Fantastic grottoes, soaring conical peaks, caverns great and small, plus villas of Emperors and thousands of legends, brush Capri with an air of whispered mystery. The Blue Grotto is the most famous sight in the island of Capri, so at least once in your lifetime, you should experience this wonder of nature: after arriving with your private boat at the Blue Grotto you will hop aboard a wooden rowboat, lay back, and let yourself be carried through a tiny stone portal to another world by your able skipper, who navigates seamlessly under the meter-high cave mouth.In contrast to the intimate space and vivid color of the cavern, are the three peaks further out to sea, emerging from the azure blue water, pointing toward the sky: they are the Faraglioni and are famed for their breathtaking beauty and home of a variety of rare wildlife.
