The tiny island of Capri, stationed just off the Amalfi coast, is captivating and timeless, beautiful and essential. It exists as a tribute to great wealth and great taste without wholly ever rubbing either in your face.

It has played both its roles of plaything and escape hatch for hundreds of years. And as is the case with anything so beautiful, staring into the crystalline, aqua-colored waters framed by the massive rock formation, Faraglioni, might transfix you forever into a semi-catatonic state. This is how to spend one perfect day in Capri!
