THE ISLE OF CAPRI

I had to do a bit of research here.  Tyrrhenian Sea? Never heard of it. Sorrentine Peninsula? Well, that’s slightly familiar.  The peninsula gets its name from the town of Sorrento.  And the Tyrrhenian Sea is off the west coast of Italy. A major nearby city is Naples.


Capri is a small 4 square mile island in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the Sorrentine Peninsula, on the south side of the Gulf of Naples in the Campania region of Italy. The main town Capri on the island shares the name. It has been a resort since the time of the Roman Republic.

  1. Now I'm thinking of Dean Martin songs. That's okay, I really like Dean Martin! ("Come back to Sorrento...." "In Napoli....")
