The Treasures of the Island of Capri
When we talk about perfect Italy vacation packages, nothing compares to a perfect combination of an organized itinerary with escorted tours, fantastic sightseeing, and ample time for leisure. These all can be taken into one tour to the amazing island of Capri. Situated on the south side of the Gulf of Naples, this beautiful island has been a tourist attraction since the Roman times.
Experience a once in a life time adventure as you travel by boat going to the island. Capri consists of two harbors, Marina Piccola, also known as little harbor, and Marina Grande which is the main port of the island where tourists come ashore.
Just like the other places in Italy, Capri offers a number of lovely sights as well. What makes it unique is that you are in a place surrounded by the waters, very tempting for nature and beach lovers.
Here you will marvel upon the highlights of the island such as the high panoramic boulevard lined with villas (Belvedere of Tragara), the little harbor (Marina Piccola), the stunning Sea Stacks which are limestone masses standing out of the sea (Farafliono), and lastly the sea cave with dazzling emerald light (Grotto Azzurra). Enjoy your fantastic sightseeing to all of these sites in your Italy vacation packages.
Some Italy vacation packages are more educational and include guided tours to the ruins of the Imperial Roman villas and the Capri Philosophical Park with an experienced tour guide. There were twelve Imperial villas recorded and the ruin of one was still observed until 19th century. The Capri Philosophical Park you will get to see the 3 tablets with quotes by 60 different western philosophers.
The island of Capri is also known for its villas. Villa San Michele provides a breathtaking view of the city of Capri, Villa Lysis is an Art Nouveau having so much neoclassical elements. And Villa Jovis is known to be the greatest preserved roman villa in the country.
In your own leisure time, be in one with the locals as you enjoy the annual events celebrated in the island. Every April, the Capri Art Film Festival is held. In June, they celebrate the Capri Tango Festival. Or to make your Italy vacation packages more interesting, be sure to be in Capri by August to witness the International Folklore Festival.
