Capri Island｜The blue fantasy of the Mediterranean and the sweet dream of the cliffs

💠 This rocky island in Italy's Campanian Sea is a dreamland that Emperor Augustus would trade Ischia for. The jewel-like brilliance of the Blue Grotto, the legendary silhouette of the Faraglioni Rocks, the lemon-scented cliff gardens—Capri, with its Tiffany-blue waters and Latin charm, embodies the most enchanting summer poetry in the Mediterranean.

✨ Must-Experience List
1️⃣ The Blue Grotto's Light and Shadow Miracle: Paddle down into the caves from a small boat, where sunlight filters through the water, creating a magical cobalt blue.
2️⃣ Overlook the Gardens of Augustus: Stand at the ruins of the clifftop villa and take in panoramic views of the three rocks and the harbor.
3️⃣ Climb Mount Solaro by Cable Car: A vintage cable car takes you from the pier to the summit, offering panoramic views of Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples.
4️⃣ Dinner in the Lemon Grove: Enjoy traditional limoncello, a sweet wine made with whole lemons, in a courtyard surrounded by lemon trees.
5️⃣ Mediterranean Shopping: Explore the boutique streets of Via Camerelle and discover handmade beach sandals and citrus aromas.

🌅 When the sun lights up diamond-like spots on the surface of the Blue Grotto, when the fragrance of lemon trees mixed with the sea breeze penetrates the cable car cabin, when you sip pink wine in the infinity pool on the thousand-meter cliff - this is Capri: a psychedelic cocktail made with the blue of the Mediterranean and the yellow of lemon, which makes every drinker willing to indulge in the eternal summer tipsy.
