Banshee Island: A movie collaboration between Sophia Loren and Clark Gable

🇮🇹 Second stop Capri (Capri) Island of Capri, Campania Region Since ancient Roman times, the island has been a playground for the aristocratic elite. The first to bring a royal touch to the island was Emperor Augustus, who used it as a private paradise; his successor, Emperor Tiberius, long secluded himself here. Among the many villas he built on the island, the famous Villa Jovis is one of the best-preserved ancient Roman villas in 🇮🇹. Blue Grotto The famous 'Blue Grotto' is a must-visit for tourists exploring the island. Emperor Tiberius once used the Blue Grotto as a personal swimming pool and sea temple, decorated with statues of the Roman sea gods Neptune and Triton. Capri Island The iconic 'Faraglioni' rocks of Capri Island are also the stars of Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue TV and print advertisements. Piazza Umberto I 'Piazza Umberto I' is the island's most famous check-in spot, nicknamed 'the little theater of the world.' It used to be a fish market, but now it is the center of social life on Capri Island. From the square, narrow winding streets are filled with high-end luxury stores; if you enjoy hiking, you can climb the 589-meter-high Mount Solaro along the 17-kilometer coastal path or take a cable car. Gardens of Augustus Standing on the terrace of the 'Gardens of Augustus,' you can see a 180-degree panoramic view of Capri Island, including the Faraglioni rocks and Via Krupp (a historic winding path built by German industrialist Krupp, with a height difference of about 100 meters between its ends). Besides the unparalleled scenery, another charming aspect of Capri Island is the chance to encounter various celebrities. Former U.S. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy was a fan of Capri Island, and she popularized Capri pants while on the island.
