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 time of the Roman Republic. Features of the island are the Marina Piccola (Small Harbor), the limestone masses the Faraglioni Rocks that stand out of the sea, Anacapri, the Blue Grotto and the ruins of the Imperial Roman villas. Capri is in the region of Campania, Province of Naples. The City of Capri is the main centre of population on Capri. It has two adjoining harbours, Marina Piccola and Marina Grande (the main port of the island). The separate commune of Anacapri is located high on the hills to the west. In the latter half of the 19th century, Capri became a popular resort for European artists, writers and other celebrities. This is the quiet side of this busy island and an area undiscovered by foreign tourists
