Capri, Island Jewel Kissed by the Gods:
A short ferry ride transported to Capri, an island playground for jet-setters and celebrities. The iconic funicular railway, a colorful steel serpent on the rock face, attracts visitors to Capri Town, a world of designer boutiques and bustling piazzas. The true magic lay hidden in the Blue Cave, bathed in an ethereal cobalt light like a mermaid’s grotto. Later, the ancient ruins of Villa San Michele and its gardens offered breathtaking panoramic views.
