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. Just off the coast of Naples and Salerno, between Cape Miseno and Amalfi, a great rock soars like a dream lost in the cobalt blue sea that surrounds it: this is Capri, the Mediterranean jewel, yearned forand 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.

The Blue Grotto is the most famous sight in the island, so at least once in your lifetime, you should experience this wonder of nature: hop aboard a wooden rowboat, lay back, and let yopurself be carried through a tiny stone portal to another world by your able skippe, who navigates seamlessly under the meter-high cave mouth.

The gardens of Augustus, initially known under the name of Krupp gardens, botanical gardens are sites on the island of Capri, in Campania, Italy.

The gardens are born in the old property that the German industrialist Friedrich Alfred Krupp Steel in the early twentieth century bought to build his mansion in Capri. Initially the gardens were named to the gardens of Krupp, a name kept until 1918, when the gardens were renamed gardens of Augustus, the name corresponding to that of today.

Capri's most beautiful panorama? Our favorite view has to be that which can be seen from the summit of Monte Solaro, which, soaring 589 meters above sea level, is the highest and most panoramic point on the island. Here the view extends across the whole of the island of Capri, the surrounding Bay of Naples, the Amalfi Coast and as far as the distant mountains of Calabria.
