Off the coast of Naples lies the most glamorous rocky island known as Capri - a summer destination for many star studded celebrities, upscale europeans and now, travel enthusiast, Sol Antar. From its crystal blue waters and picturesque beaches to its charming streets adorned with designer stores and gelato shops, believe us when we say, there is truly no place like it in the world.
By day, you can join the other tourists roaming the streets luxuriating in beach aperitifs, shopping, and of course the freshest farm-to-table Italian food. By night, the island quiets down and transforms into one of the most captivating landscapes you have ever seen.

Piazza Umberto 1 is a square located in the historic center of Capri and is the perfect place to order a coffee or wine. To go cups are for wall street. Here, you order a drink to stay, enjoy the company you are with and let the time pass you by.”

“Rugged and surreal - these beautiful rock formations are part of what makes Capri. Faraglioni is a sight to see from afar or you can find a boat and a sailor and see them up close and personal.”
