    Is Arco Naturale a hiking path or is it the final destination of an otherwise unnamed hiking path?…read more All signs en route to Arco Naturale say just that. The actual name of the path that gets you here is the Pizzolungo Trail but nobody is ever going to go looking for that nor will they find signs that identify it as such. And with that caveat, this review is a two-fer; a review of both the trail and the feature, a well-placed, Paleolithic, limestone arch overlooking the blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The path out to Arco Naturale is paved and easy to follow. It snakes through Capri's narrow streets, eventually becoming a path that is surrounded only by nature. You might think the fabulous views were good when you were still among the houses, shops, and restaurants. They are, but these are better. You'll know you've reached your destination when the path and stairs taper off and you find yourself gazing through a stunning feat of nature, the Arco Naturale. It's now photo time. Many people arrive on Capri and quickly book a boat tour to see the island from the sea and Arco Naturale is one of the sites visited. I don't know what the arch looks like from the sea but when you hike there you're actually staring through the arch, at eye level. I could see boats far below and can only imagine the passengers had their necks pointed cloud-wards. The arch... yeah, it's a lovely lookout point. Even better is the path that gets you there.

    This was one of our favorite things in Capri. We walked from our AirBnB to the arch one morning and…read morethen had a morning snack/brunch from the bench overlooking the arch. It was stunning. Expect a pretty strenuous short hike as you do a lot of up out of town, then a lot of down to the arch and then back again. Not bad, but not nothing either. A lot of stairs too. We brought a stroller for the 1-year-old and it helped for a lot of it (since it's all paved), but toward the end there was a lot of carrying up and down stairs. Come early in the morning if you can to avoid the not-insane, but still very present crowds that show up as day trippers have had more time to make the trek. We were there around 10-10:30a and had the place to ourselves for a brief bit, but by 11-11:30 it was getting a bit crowded. The entire time we were there, we saw boat tours come through, pause and look up at the arch. We did a boat tour later and I can say that the view from the top is 10x better than the view from the boat. If you can possibly make the hike to see it from above, do it.
