Our walk begins at Capri's main square, "La Piazzetta," and follows the ancient perimeter of the medieval village, quickly offering panoramic views. Along the way, you'll glimpse residents' homes, gardens, and villas, taking approximately 45 minutes to reach the archaeological site. The route is uphill on paved roads with occasional steps.

During the walk, there will be a historical introduction focusing on Roman and early imperial times. You'll receive orientation and insight into the surrounding area, as Villa Jovis boasts breathtaking views of the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento Peninsula.
