Anacapri Essentials

Anacapri offers a tranquil alternative to the bustling Capri town, characterized by its high elevation and historical depth. The area features Monte Solaro, the island's highest peak at 589 meters, accessible via a panoramic chairlift from Piazza Vittoria. Key sites include Villa San Michele, constructed on Roman ruins by physician Axel Munthe, and the 14th-century Hermitage of Santa Maria a Cetrella. Natural landmarks range from the luminescent Blue Grotto sea cave to the rugged cliffs of Punta Carena, home to one of Italy’s oldest and most powerful lighthouses.
