Italy | Capri | Jan 2016

Capri’s reputation as a sybaritic paradise is nearly eclipsed by its notoriety as a tourist trap. However, the views are unmarred by the throng. The home of emperors, seat of monasteries, place of exile, its fortunes changed during 19th century when English and German expatriates discovered its charms. Today it barely has a “low season”, farmers run little hotels, and fishermen rent pleasure boats. Capri enjoys its well-deserved reputation as a Garden of Eden. [DK Eyewitness Travel]
