Napoli

Naples or Napoli in Italian is the capital of the Italian region Campania and the third-largest municipality in Italy, after Rome and Milan. In 2015, around 965,260 people lived within the city's administrative limits. The Metropolitan City of Naples had a population of 4,115,420. Naples is the 9th-most populous urban area in the European Union with a population of between 4 million and 4.6 million. About 4.4 million people live in the Naples metropolitan area, one of the largest metropolises on the Mediterranean Sea.

Capri

Capri is an 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 on the island shares the name. It has been a resort since the time of the Roman Republic. Capri is famed for its rugged landscape, upscale hotels and shopping, from designer fashions to limoncello and handmade leather sandals. One of its best-known natural sites is the Blue Grotto, a dark cavern where the sea glows electric blue, the result of sunlight passing through an underwater cave. In summer, Capri's dramatic, cove-studded coastline draws many yachts.
