Marina Piccola, Capri (must see)
Nestled along the picturesque island of Capri, the Small Marina is a timeless oasis of beauty and luxury that has attracted illustrious visitors for centuries. Steeped in history, this charming haven was favored by Roman emperors Augustus and Tiberius as a resplendent holiday retreat, and its allure has endured through the ages, with modern-day VIPs gracing its shores.
The marina is discreetly separated into two sections: the Mule's Marina and the Peannauro's Marina, gently divided by the majestic Rock of the Sirens. These two enclaves enjoy a natural shield from the winds, cradled in the arms of the cliff, while the warm embrace of the southern sun bestows its radiant touch. This unique microclimate gifts visitors with serene waters and a sun-drenched haven, inviting them to revel in the delights of the Mediterranean.
Legend intertwines with reality on the Rock of the Sirens, as whispered tales of the past come to life. Homer's Odyssey paints a portrait of sirens who once enchanted sailors with their beguiling songs, yet today, the only melodies heard are those of the fashionable glitterati who gather here each summer.
