Monte Solaro

Monte Solaro stands at 589 meters above sea level, making it the highest point on the island of Capri. The summit is accessible via a scenic chairlift from the town of Anacapri, which glides over fragrant Mediterranean maquis, vineyards, and terraced gardens. At the top, you'll find a small café, a souvenir shop, and a statue of the Virgin Mary. The view is nothing short of spectacular: on clear days, you can see the entire Gulf of Naples, including Vesuvius, the Sorrentine Peninsula, the islands of Ischia and Procida, and the rugged coastline of the Amalfi Coast. The summit is also a starting point for hiking trails, including the path to the nearby Fortino di Bruto (a small fort). The chairlift ride itself is an experience, offering a gentle, bird's-eye perspective of the island's lush interior.
