Inside the Gardens of Augustus, drink in the panorama overlooking Marina Piccola and the Faraglioni rock formations. Stop in at the Charterhouse of San Giacomo or walk uphill to the Roman ruins of Villa Jovis, where the ancient emperor Tiberio would take a break from Rome.
Have you ever dreamt of paradise on earth? The island of Capri in Italy is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and exotic destinations in the world. With its crystal-clear waters, rugged coastline, and charming town, Capri is a must-visit for anyone who loves the sun, the sea, and the good life.
As your cruise ship pulls into the port of Capri, you'll be greeted by the sight of colorful houses clinging to the hillsides and yachts bobbing in the harbor. The harbor itself is surrounded by rocky cliffs, and the water is so clear that you can see the colorful fish swimming below.
One of the highlights of Capri is the Blue Grotto, a natural sea cave that glows a stunning shade of blue thanks to the reflection of sunlight on the water. You can take a small boat to the cave and admire the otherworldly beauty of the blue light.
Another must-visit spot on the island is the Gardens of Augustus, a terraced garden that offers stunning views of the Faraglioni rock formations and the sea beyond. The garden is home to a variety of colorful flowers and plants, and is a peaceful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the town.
Speaking of the town, it's a charming mix of upscale shops, restaurants, and narrow streets lined with colorful houses. Don't miss the Piazzetta, a small square that's the heart of the town and a great spot for people-watching. And of course, you can't leave Capri without trying a gelato, the Italian ice cream that's famous around the world.
As you sail away from Capri, you'll feel like you've been transported to a magical world where beauty and luxury reign supreme. It's a place that will stay with you long after your cruise has ended, and one that you'll dream of returning to again and again.
Legend has it that the beautiful island of Capri, located off the coast of southern Italy, was once home to a powerful sea nymph named Partenope. It is said that Partenope would often visit the island's port, offering protection and good fortune to the sailors who docked there. However, she was also known to be fiercely protective of the island's natural beauty, and would unleash her wrath upon anyone who dared to harm the land or sea.
One day, a group of sailors arrived on Capri's shores and began to plunder the island's resources, heedless of the damage they were causing. Partenope, furious at their disregard for the island's beauty, conjured up a fierce storm that battered the sailors and their ships. As the storm raged on, the sailors realized their mistake and begged for mercy, promising to respect the island and its inhabitants. Moved by their contrition, Partenope calmed the storm and allowed the sailors to leave unharmed, but only after they had vowed to spread the word of Capri's natural wonders and the power of the sea nymph who watched over it.
To this day, sailors who visit Capri's port pay homage to Partenope, and it is said that those who respect the island's beauty and honor the sea nymph will be blessed with safe voyages and abundant riches.
