Anacapri (Italian: [anaˈkaːpri]) is a comune on the island of Capri, in the Metropolitan City of Naples, Italy.
Anacapri is located higher on the island than Capri (about 150 m (490 ft) higher on average)[3]—the Ancient Greek prefix ana- meaning "up" or "above". Administratively, it maintains a separate status from the comune of Capri.
Anacapri is widely known for its picturesque, rural tranquility, broad views of the Bay of Naples, and significant historic sites, including Villa San Michele.

Overview
Bus and taxi services connect Marina Grande to Capri and Anacapri via the numerous hairpin turns of Via Giuseppe Orlandi.
A chairlift in Anacapri (seggiovia) connects Piazza Vittoria to the 589 m (1,932 ft) Monte Solaro, providing wide views of the south-facing coast.
Punta Carena Lighthouse is located 3 km (1.9 mi) from the main town.
French composer Claude Debussy named one of the pieces from his first book of preludes—No. 5, "Les collines d'Anacapri" ("The Hills of Anacapri")—in homage to the community.
