Coming into Capri 40 32N 14 14E The Place to Go for the yacht crowd, and tourists. Capri sits just outside of Naples Bay with Ferries running every minute it seems like. On an average day they get 15,000 tourists.
---------------------------
Capri started occupying an important role in the political and military matters of the Roman Empire when Ottaviano, not yet Augustus, landed here in 29 BC and, struck by the incredible beauty of the island, took it from Naples, in exchange for Ischia.After Ottaviano, the Emperor Tiberius resided on the island for a decade and it was from Capri that he managed the interests of the Empire.The presence of the two emperors on Capri notably influenced the island architecture and the development of the urban area
