Carved into the cliffs of the island's southern coast, Via Krupp ia an iconic switchback footpath offering breathtaking views of the Tyrrhenian Sea, connecting the Charterhouse of San Giacomo to the Marina Piccola. It is famous for its serpentine design and azure panoramas, and engineering ingenuity.
Commissioned by German industrialist Friedrich Alfred Krupp in the early 20th century, its sinuous curves and dramatic slopes create a visual spectacle against the backdrop of the Mediterranean. Via Krupp is a winding pathway that effortlessly blends natural beauty with architectural marvels. A leisurely walk along Via Krupp takes approximately 30 minutes. One can begin their journey from either the Gardens of Augustus or the Charterhouse of San Giacomo. Early morning or late afternoon is the best time to visit the pathway to avoid crowds and enjoy the sunlight playing on the sea.
