Haven’t got much time to spare while in Capri? Then this is definitely where you want to go! The Gardens of Augustus was established by Friedrich Alfred Krupp, a German industrialist. With terraces overlooking the sea, the gardens are truly a breathtaking sight, and a testament to the richness of the flora and fauna on the island. Plant-lovers will be delighted to find the geraniums, dahlias and brooms adding vibrant dots of color to the lush greenery of the gardens, and the resulting beauty as they stand against the background of iconic Faraglioni.

In addition to all the natural beauty, you can admire the statues found in the gardens, including the unmistakable monument paying tribute to Vladimir Lenin. Made of a number of 5 meter high marble blocks, the monument is found before the house of Russian writer Maxim Gorky, who once invited Lenin there in the early 20th century. Photographers, be sure to have your cameras ready to capture the breathtaking panorama of the island, for Mount Solar and the bay of Marina Piccola will find their way to your viewfinder.
