From Tuoro to Semaforo

Unusual Walks

Leaving the Piazzetta di Capri, after having crossed via Vittorio Emanuele and via Camerelle, the street known for its haute couture houses, you start the route to the belvedere of Tragara. Before reaching the latter, at the height of the Hotel Scalinatella, on the left climbing a few steps, you will reach via Tuoro.

Walking along a stretch in the plain, where you can admire enchanting villas, including Villa Tuoro, in which lived and died the famous writer Norman Douglas, creator of the myth of the land of the sirens, you will arrive at the first belvedere of Tuoro.

The scenario will open on the charm of the Faraglioni, seen from a different angle, on the rock of Monacone and on a glimpse of Villa Solitaria. This was the home of the Scottish writer Compton Mackenzie and then of the Scottish musician, Cecil Grey. The same view you can have going up, from the second terrace of Tuoro, recently restored. Right from here you will start a dirt road, marked in red, which leads to the staircase to get to the Semaforo: former meteorological station of the Air Force, now located at Damecuta in Anacapri. Going down, once you reach via Dentecala, turn right and continue to the Piazzetta delle Noci. Here, from the belvedere, you will be breathless: Arco Naturale, the Amalfi Coast, the Mount of Tiberio and Punta Campanella, stand out between the blue of the sky and that of the sea. Further up, from the pine forest immersed in silence, you can decide to go back taking, then, via Matermania,

Or take a small path, on the left side of the pine forest, which will join with a stretch of the famous trail of Pizzolungo and from there return to Tragara and its belvedere.
