capri's enduring reputation as a sybaritic paradise is nearly eclipsed by its notoriety as a tourist trap.
however, the great views are unmarred by the throng.
the home of emperors, seat of monasteries, place of exile, former haunt of goats anf fisherman, its fortunes changed during the 19th century when english and german expatriates discovered its charms.
today it barely has a "low season"; farmers run little hotels, and fisherman rent pleasure boats.
capri has costant sunshine and enjoys a well-deserved reputation as a garden of eden.
