A Philosophical Retreat along the Migliera Path.
- Relax and meditate just a short walk from the lighthouse
- Meander shady paths and take in sweeping views
- Ponder the aphorisms lining the walking trail
Address
The Capri Philosophical Park is a unique retreat from the bustle of Capri. Tucked into a bucolic golden and rose-hued Mediterranean wood just a short walk from the Punta Carena lighthouse along the Migliera path, the park is the brainchild of the Swedish Professor Gunnar Adler-Karlsson, who built this spot for the Island of Capri as a token of his deep affection for the island and its people.
Most of the flora in the park is left to grow wild, and among the brush and trees visitors are able to relax immersed in nature and reflect on the aphorisms painted on tiles displayed throughout the park.
Now the Philosophical Park is run by the non-profit organization Fondazione Adler-Ehrnford-Karlsson which was created specifically to preserve this plot of land for international wisdom and for enjoying the wild Mediterranean vegetation.

Location
Once you have arrived on Capri, take the bus for Anacapri to the end of the line (the final stop is after Piazza Caprile). From here, continue of foot toward the Belvedere di Migliara where the park is located. It's about a half an hour walk.
