Rising like a limestone fortress from the deep blue Tyrrhenian Sea, the island of Capri has captivated travellers for millennia. Once the seat of Roman imperial power — where Emperor Tiberius ruled the known world from his cliff-top palace — Capri is far more than a destination for chic boutiques and luxury yachts. It is a living museum of ancient engineering, medieval history, and timeless natural wonder.
Capri: Big Adventures on a Little Island is a pocket guide designed for visitors on short trips who still want a succinct understanding of the island's greatest treasures. From the bustling harbour of Marina Grande and the sunlit squares of the Piazzetta, to the dizzying heights of Villa Jovis and the glowing blue chamber of the Grotta Azzurra, each stop brings centuries of history vividly to life.
Packed with historical insights, practical travel tips, a dining guide, and a full glossary of terms, this is the essential companion for every curious visitor to the Emperor's Island.
