The story
Following the cliffside Via del Pizzo Lungo on Capri feels like stepping into an ancient myth—one that Gambero Rosso recently brought to life in their review. The path, which runs from the Arco Naturale to the Belvedere di Tragara, is also known as Via del Polifemo, named for the legendary Cyclops from Homer’s *Odyssey*. Along the way, a dramatic rock spur recalls Polyphemus himself, adding a layer of storytelling to an already spectacular coastal walk.
While the video title mentions *spaghetti al pomodoro* among Capri’s trails, the focus here is on the scenery and history rather than plate. This is a hidden gem for hikers and mythology buffs alike: a serene, scenic route that offers dramatic views without the crowds. Whether you’re tracing Ulysses’ footsteps or simply seeking a quiet escape, Via del Pizzo Lungo delivers an evocative, sun-drenched walk in the heart of the island.
