Capri

Capri is an Italian island off the Sorrentine Peninsula, on the south side of the Gulf of Naples. It has been a resort since the Roman times. Capri was once part of the mainland. This has been confirmed by geological surveys and archaeological findings. The island has been inhabited since very early times. Capri is a tourist destination for both Italians and foreigners. In the 1950s, Capri became a popular destination for the international jet set. The central piazzetta of Capri, though preserving its modest village architecture, is lined with luxury boutiques and expensive restaurants. During summers, the island is heavily touristed, often by day trippers from Naples and Sorrento. (Wikipedia)
