History

Capri has been a seaside retreat since Roman times — emperors and later 19th‑century Europeans shaped its villas, paths and coastal reputation.

Conservation

The island limits tourist numbers in sensitive grottoes and promotes reef‑safe products; avoid anchoring on seagrass beds and follow skipper guidance to minimize impact.
