Capri: the island of dreams
You can’t see Capri if you haven’t dreamed it before, only in this way can you belong to the mythical place where nature meets beauty”. So wrote Raffaele La Capria, one of the most significant voices of Italian literature of the twentieth century, who has always frequented this island in the Gulf of Naples and its renowned square, where many human paths have crossed. Visiting Capri means traveling among one of the wonders of our country that contains large cities, small towns, countryside, a country blessed with good fortune for the climate, for geography, but also for culture. We owe all our heritage, all our wonders to the generations that preceded us thanks to their way of conceiving beauty and the culture that we possess in our way of speaking, thinking and loving. Capri: a dream that has become an island, made up of climbs and descents, paths that descend towards the sea but also of rocks that rise towards the sky. In fact, Capri is reminiscent of a sort of limestone and rock basket of just 10 square kilometers where life, the excitement, sometimes a little chaotic, but also places of great peace and silence unwind inside. There is Capri with all its life, and no less impressive is Anacapri. There have been many who lived here on the island and left a sign of their presence and their civilization, since the Paleolithic, testimony of a lived and still present past. Taking part in a Guided Tour of the Main Sights of Capri, is certainly the best way to get around the island with a local tour guide, who will retrace its history, its origin and why not also its culinary tradition and gastronomy.
