Solaro, is the second center of the island, largely composed of white houses. PIAZZA UMBERTO (PIAZZETTA) This small square, known here simply as the "Piazzetta" is always bustling and crowded and is the heart of Capri. MARINA GRANDE This is the most frequently used port on the island, and is also a noted beach and swimming spot. The town extending along the little port is set at the center of a broad inlet overlooking the Gulf of Naples, at the western edge of which extends the beach, while just a bit further along you can see the ruins of the so-called "Palazzo a Mare" probably Augustus's favorite residence on the island, stripped during excavations done at the end of the 18th century. MARINA PICCOLA Beach resort, as well as the island's southern landing point. The port of Marina Piccola is a point of departure for interesting excursions to the Grotta Verde, the Faraglioni and the other marine grottoes of the southern side of the island. FARAGLIONI The first of these three rocks (elev. 109 meters. ) is known as the "Stella" and is joined to the coast, the second one is the lowest of the three (elev. 81 meters. ) while the third (elev. 104 mt. ) known as the "Scapolo" is inhabited by a rare type of light blue lizard. GROTTA AZZURRA The ancients already knew the famous grotto as we can see from the ruins of Roman structures but the true discovery came during the 19th century. The aperture is about 2 meters across and just over a meter high; the interior can be reached with special boats (the depth of the sea ranges from 14 to 22 meters). GARDENS OF AUGUSTUS A public garden overlooks the sea, with scenic terraces offering panoramic views of Capri, the Faraglioni and the Marina Piccola.
