Capri’s Otherworldly Wonders

The Blue Grotto Capri, or Grotta Azzurra, is a stunning sea cave on the island of Capri, Italy, renowned for its striking azure waters and ethereal atmosphere. Believed to have been discovered by the Romans, it became famous in the 19th century after German artists August Kopisch and Ernst Fries visited and documented its beauty. The cave's narrow entrance, just two meters wide, requires visitors to board small rowboats and lie down to enter. Inside, sunlight reflecting off the water creates a surreal blue glow, amplifying the enchanting atmosphere. Visitors can reach the grotto by bus from Anacapri or boat from Marina Grande, with tours subject to weather conditions. The cave is open daily, though it may close during rough seas, and entrance fees are EUR 18 per person

Around The Web

The Chair Lift to Monte Solaro

The chair lift from Via Caposcuro in Anacapri takes visitors to the summit of Monte Solaro, offering stunning views of the Gulf of Naples, Vesuvius, and the island of Ischia. The 13-minute ride showcases Capri’s dramatic coastline and lush vegetation, with 158 seats available for a round trip

Faraglioni Rocks

The Faraglioni Rocks are three striking sea stacks rising from the Mediterranean, offering one of Capri's most iconic views. With names like Stella, Faraglione di Mezzo, and Faraglione di Fuori, these natural formations stand between 80 and 150 metres tall

Villa Igea Residence Hotel

Set in a beautifully restored Art Nouveau building, Villa Igea Residence Hotel offers elegant apartments with hotel services. Located just steps from Capri’s iconic Piazzetta, it places you at the heart of the island’s charm, with stunning landscapes and vibrant nightlife year-round

Punta Carena Lighthouse

The Punta Carena Lighthouse, operational since 1867, is located 3km southwest of Anacapri. Its pink and white octagonal tower emits a white light flash every 3 seconds, with a range of 25 nautical miles, marking it as an offshore lighthouse

Top Beaches in Capri

Capri offers stunning beaches like Punta Carena Beach, with its breathtaking views and crystal-clear waters. Marina Grande is ideal for families with its shallow waters, while Marina Piccola boasts scenic views of the Faraglioni. For a more secluded experience, Gradola is perfect, and for beach club lovers

Feel the Rhythm of Rome

There’s something timeless about Rome—a city where the past isn’t just preserved, it’s part of everyday life. Here, you don’t rush. You sip your coffee slowly in a sunlit piazza. You wander without direction, drawn down cobbled lanes by the promise of a perfect gelato or the echo of a fountain. Rome rewards the unhurried. Every turn offers a moment: a faded fresco in a quiet church, a lazy cat lounging on ancient ruins, the glint of sunset on the Tiber. This is a city made for staying still, for noticing, for simply being. Start your Roman escape with an early morning espresso near the Pantheon, before stepping inside to marvel at its perfect dome in the soft morning light. From there, it’s a short and pleasant walk to the Trevi Fountain—go early to avoid crowds and toss in your coin while the water sparkles undisturbed.

Make your way to Campo de’ Fiori for a late morning wander through the market, then enjoy a slow lunch at a shaded trattoria nearby. Afterwards, stroll across the river to the charming Trastevere neighbourhood. This is the perfect place to walk without a plan—duck into churches, browse artisan shops, and enjoy gelato on a quiet bench
