Anacapri (Italian: [anaˈkaːpri]) is a comune on the island of Capri, in the Metropolitan City of Naples, Italy.
Anacapri is located higher on the island than Capri, about 150 m higher on average[3]) — the Ancient Greek prefix ana- meaning "up" or "above". Administratively, it maintains a separate status from the city of Capri.
Anacapri is widely known for its pictoresque rural tranquility, broad views of Naples Bay and significant historic sites, including Villa San Michele.
Overview[]
Bus and taxi service connects Marina Grande to Capri and Anacapri — via the numerous hairpin turns of Via Giuseppe Orlandi.
A chairlift in Anacapri (seggiovia) connects Piazza Vittoria to 589-m Monte Solaro, providing wide views of the south-facing coast.
Punta Carena Lighthouse is located 3 km from the main town.
French composer Claude Debussy named one of his preludes from the first book, No.5 Les collines d'Anacapri (The hills of Anacapri), in homage to the community.
