Description

An unforgettable day of walking and exploring awaits on this hike! Today's walk first takes you out of Capri town, walking down its little alleyways and past houses and gardens.

Follow this route all the way to the impressive Roman ruins of the Villa Jovis, the palace of Emperor Tiberius.

It is worthwhile buying a ticket and exploring the villa, before joining the coastal path to the Arco Naturale. Walk through the Grotto Matermania before reaching Faraglioni - with the peculiar rocks protruding out of the sea, called the Three Sisters. Later you can choose to visit the Convent of San Giacamo and the Gardens of Emperor Augustus or relax while enjoying a gelato in the main piazza.

Today you will need a rucksack with the usual supplies and plenty of water in case it is a hot day.

You can do this walk in hiking shoes, rather than boots, if you wish.
