The Faraglioni are three limestone sea stacks that rise from the water off the southern coast of Capri. They appear on every postcard, in every shot from the Gardens of Augustus, and from the water they are even more impressive — up to 109 metres tall, their vertical walls weathered into caves and arches by millennia of waves.
The best views are from the Belvedere di Tragara, a terrace at the end of Via Tragara in Capri town, or from a boat at sea level. Boat tours circle the stacks and pass through the natural arch in the middle one; many combine this with a visit to the Blue Grotto. The walk from the Piazzetta to the Tragara viewpoint is about 25 minutes on a flat path through residential streets and gardens.
