The cliffs of Capri have always been the place to get away from it all. It was rumored that if Emperor Tiberius was not pleased with his concubines, he simply would throw them off the cliffs. And while celebs, politicians, and artists have been visiting Capri since Roman times, their idea of “getting away” has been a little less deadly. There are just enough historic ruins to see and keep you busy for a short time between beautiful shopping and superb Caprese dining. La Dolce Vita does not get much better. One thing we are certain of is the views from Capri’s cliffs are truly dramatic and inspiring and should not be missed–just look out behind you.
