Incantato Welcomes You to the Isle of Capri

The isle of Capri is situated just off the coast of southern Italy, near Naples. It has an enduring reputation as a sybaritic paradise. It has seen many uses throughout history, including serving as the home of emperors, the seat of monasteries, and a place of exile. Its popularity is no wonder when considering the constant sunshine and reputation as a Garden of Eden.

Among the sites to see aside from the stunning views of the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius, are the Grotto Azzurra, the Blue Grotto, which is a cave bathed in iridescent blue light. Capri's main port, the Marina Grande consists of an array of colorful houses overlooking the harbor while ferry boats sail to and from Naples. Aside from Capri, the island's main town, and Anacapri, the island's second town, there is also the Certosa di San Giacomo. It was founded in 1371 on the site of Roman emperor Tiberius's villa as a Cathusian monastery. However, it was suppressed in 1808 and now serves as part of a school. By the way, the Villa Jovis, Tiberius's imperial villa covers an enormous area, the ruins of which can still be seen today.
