10 Nature & Parks in Capri That You Shouldn't Miss
Capri is pure romance—dramatic views, the bluest ocean you’ve ever seen, even the scent of lemon blossoms in the air. The luminescent Blue Grotto, striking Faraglioni Rocks and the Palazzo al Mare are popular with travelers, but for a real treat, snorkel at Marina Piccola beach. It’s said to be the spot where Odysseus nearly succumbed to the Sirens’ song… a fitting legend for this alluring island.

1. I Faraglioni

The extraordinary and rugged beauty of Capri is signified by these timeless rock formations jutting from the sea.

From the Arco naturale, we hiked to villa Malaparte and to Faraglioni de Capri, which are 3 iconic rocky peaks of the island. Their name comes directly from the geological term “faraglione”, meaning “rocky mass detached from the coast by erosion”. We were amazed by: - the Faraglione di Terra the highest (109 meters), which is still attached to the island - Faraglione di Mezzo (81 meters), which is crossed by a natural arch - Faraglione di Fuori (104 meters), which is the furthest from the coast - Scoglio del Monacone, which is more distant and whose name comes from the presence of monk seals, in older times. Altogether, I highly Recommend to hike to Faraglioni de Capri! Unfonrtunately, because we only spent one day in Capri, we had not time to go to Faraglioni using motor boat to have wonderful viewpoints on Faraglioni. I’ll come back!

As my sister and I was walking up to Villa Jovis we came across an old man at a gate telling us to come in and see the views. It was well worth it there were so many different viewpoints and some steps to amazing views. The old man had asked us to leave a tip in a tray if we could which was fine because he was so friendly and had bottles of water for anyone who needed them. I would definitely recommend dropping in on the way to Villa Jovis and leaving a small tip for the man as he is a volunteer in his 80's who supplies bottles of water.

You can swim or climb the cliffs in the Green Grotto, which looks like an enormous liquid emerald.

Although the Blue Grotto gets all the attention, if you are cruising around the Island of Capri you'll likely see this grotto and it is really pretty to see - crystal clear waters and if you look close you can see jelly fish sometimes - if you do, don't jump in for a swim!
4. White Grotta

Set midway up a rock face, this cavern is filled with stalactites and stalagmites, where the limestone rock seems to reflect only white rays of light.

White Grotto is one of the stops during the boat tour that you take from Capri around the island. Beautiful rock formations (your boatman will point at the spot that resembles a statue of Madonna) and water! Not really so impressive like Green Grotto and the breathtaking like Blue Grotto, but very lovely and worth seeing.

An elegant and beautiful garden and vantage point for viewing the pristine beauty of the oceans of Capri. We enjoyed the beauty.

This natural cave was the site of strange rituals to worship gods during ancient Roman times.

Whilst on the way to the Natural Arch from Capri Town you will automatically come to the Grotto on your way there. It is a massive formation, very impressive although there is nothing in it. According to one knowledgable visitor there was once a slab here depicting Mithra. Stop and gaze and take a few photos and continue towards the Natural Arch:)

This small beach is located on the Southeastern part of Capri, next to and way below the Giardini di Augusto. The surrounding cliffs protect it from the wind and the view of the Faraglioni provides a spectacular surrounding. The water is warm most of the year and unless you run into a storm, quite calm. This is a great place to spend a few hours, soaking up the sun and the surrounding beauty.

Reviewed By KatrinaMolini - Corciano, Italy
This was the first grotto that we saw on our boat (then there were white, green and blue ones). There were some waves and so the water was reviling the red part of the rock which lies under the water. Very beautiful color, not to mention the water. Incredible nature!
