I’m always a little sad when I hear travelers talk about spending just one day on the Italian island of Capri. Like Venice, this glittering island in the Bay of Naples is one of the country's most popular destinations. And its proximity to the mainland lends itself to “hit it and quit it” day-tripping.
While a day may allow you to snap some photos of Capri’s ample beauty, it’s not enough time to discover this island’s special charm, character, and history. This is, after all, the island that has wooed Roman emperors, including Tiberius, who allegedly carried out all sorts of debauchery at his hilltop Villa Jovis, which remains one of the Capri’s top attractions.
