The enchanting Isle of Capri sits in the Bay of Naples, off the Amalfi Coast of Italy. The island is only accessible by boat, but it has been a resort since the time of the Roman Republic. It has become a romantic tourist destination, attracting European aristocracy, media moguls and Hollywood stars and gave birth to those fun, flirty summer pants, the "capri," in the 1950's.
