Car: not necessary
With a surface area of 19 Sq. Km. Capraia is characterized by a rough and wild landscape, as yet untouched by man. It is mountainous, with a 300/400 mt. ridge which creates two diverse slope: one facing westward with sheer walls, abounding in caves and ravines: one facing eastward more gentle, with valleys and coves.
The inhabited part is limited to the port and bay and to the dominating promontory, where the village of Capraia rises; the rest of the island is uninhabited.
From the village a path leads inland, providing nature lovers with tralils to walk in complete solitude, as far as the 'little fountains' of spring water and, beyond, to the 'signal' where a ravine allows a view of the sea facing Corsica.
Capraia offers it's visitors a unique variety of under water marine life that eveybody can enjoy, just snorkeling or scuba diving .The green Capraia with its coloured coast , with its small port and with the unmistakable scent of lentisk is always the same during the years.
