The island of Capri is described as an the island of wealth for the wealthy.

It is actually 2 separate parts with 2 separate governments….Capri is the lower bowl and Anacapri is the top portion almost like a football stadium. These 2 different location on the same island were not connected for a long time because the geography you entered 2 different sides of the island to get to the different destinations. After Work War 2 they built a road connecting them.

Capri -is the famous town that has the big marina and all the fancy shops. When Jackie Kennedy came here she bough a few pairs of pants “Capri Pants” and started a huge trend back in America that is still ongoing.

As we casually strolled we cam across a cemetery. Im not sure why this caught my eye but it was certainly different than any other I had ever seen.

Anacapri- this is the portion of the island that is higher up in the mountains and is noticeably more laid back. The Greeks were here first and settled it in the 8th century BC. It really had its coming out party during the Roman Empire, emperor Augustus resided here. He built temples and gardens and created his own private paradise.

You will find lush tropical gardens throughout.

Capri Perimeter- there are very steep cliffs, very few beaches, couple of grottos and protruding structures surrounding the island. There is an underwater mountain style chain of rocks that connects Capri to the mainland just under the surface. You have shades of deep dark blue water and others that have combinations of green and aquamarine.
