DESKTOP 1093 - CAPRI, ITALY

Capri is an island located in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the Sorrentine Peninsula, on the south side of the Gulf of Naples in the Campania region of Italy. The main town Capri that is located on the island shares the name and is the largest population centre. The island has two harbours, Marina Piccola and Marina Grande (the main port of the island). The separate comune of Anacapri is located high on the hills to the west.

Capri has been a resort since the time of the Roman Republic. Some of the main features of the island include the following: the Marina Piccola (the little harbour), the Belvedere of Tragara (a high panoramic promenade lined with villas), the limestone crags called sea stacks that project above the sea (the Faraglioni), the town of Anacapri, the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra), and the ruins of the Imperial Roman villas.

    Beautiful image! The water is blue! I'm hoping to visit southern Italy at some point and this image definitely inspires me to do it sooner than later! :)

    So beautiful! It's like a scene from a 1950's Grace Kelly and David Niven movie.....not that I am at all sure they ever made a movie together, but if they had, it would have been shot in just such a place!
