Explore the Enchanting Capri and Ischia Islands

Situated almost in the middle of the West Italian Coast near the Rome and Naples area, are the tiny islands of Capri and Ischia, along with the even smaller Procida. These beautiful and unique islands definitely deserve a visit. Since the time of the Roman Empire, the islands have been the preferred seaside getaway of fashionable Romans — including their mighty Emperors!

All three islands combine the best of what the Mediterranean has to offer: lovely and tranquil ambiance, pristine architecture, warm climate, exquisite views, a cosmopolitan character, and above all an unfaltering sense of  eternity. These are among the most posh places in the world, and have been for thousands of years!
