The Faraglioni

Capri’s most iconic sight is undoubtedly the Faraglioni, three dramatic rock formations that rise majestically from the sparkling Mediterranean waters just off the island’s southern coast. These towering natural wonders, named Stella, Faraglione di Mezzo, and Faraglione di Fuori, are rooted in myth and legend. According to ancient lore, passing through the arch of Faraglione di Mezzo while making a wish is said to bring good fortune and love.

A boat trip around the island offers the best views of the Faraglioni, allowing visitors to marvel at their sheer size and the vivid contrast between the azure sea and the rugged limestone. For a more elevated perspective, head to one of Capri’s luxurious beach clubs, such as La Fontelina, where you can relax with the Faraglioni as your backdrop. Whether seen from the sea or the shore, these iconic formations embody the timeless beauty and allure of Capri.
