Climbers saved on iconic Capri rocks

Two Italian rock climbers were saved at the weekend after getting into difficulty on Capri's iconic rock formation I Faraglioni.
    The pair, originally from the province of Bari in Puglia, reached the top of the innermost of the three craggy spires but lost their way on the way back down.
    A rescue team went in on a helicopter and winched the two climbers to safety.
    Rising out of the Mediterranean off the southern coast of Capri, the three sea stacks of Faraglioni are among the most photographed landmarks on the island and a place of enduring romantic legend, the Amalfi Coast yacht charter website says.
    Majestic and dramatic, the rocky sea stacks of I Faraglioni rise precipitously from the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean, forming the most loved, and most photographed, maritime view in Capri, says the charter site.
    Tallest of the three, and closest to shore, is Stella, which rises to a height of 109m, with the middle stack, Faraglione di Mezzo standing at 82m high, and the third, Faraglione di Fuori - also known as Scopolo - standing 106m above the waves.
    In the smallest of the three, Faraglione di Mezzo, the sea has carved a perfect arch, large enough for boats to pass through, and, according to the local legend, if you kiss your sweetheart as you sail below that arch, you will find true love and be together forever, says the site.
    For those on an Amalfi Coast yacht charter, the Faraglioni is easily accessible by sea, and no visit to Capri is complete without passing through that famous arch, says the yacht charter site.
