Capri is a rocky, glamorous island rising sharply out of the Bay of Naples in southern Italy. Long a favourite of Roman emperors, writers and jet-setters, it combines dramatic limestone cliffs, turquoise sea caves and chic piazzas into one of the Mediterranean's most distinctive destinations.
The island is divided between the busy hub of Capri town and the quieter, higher village of Anacapri. Between them, visitors can swim beneath the Faraglioni rock stacks, glide into the Blue Grotto by boat, ride the chairlift up Monte Solaro, and wander lemon groves and designer boutiques along whitewashed lanes.

The best time to visit Capri is May, June and September, when the weather is warm, the sea is inviting and the crowds are smaller than in peak summer. July and August are hot and packed with day-trippers, while spring shoulder months offer great value. Many hotels and restaurants close from November to March.
You can only reach Capri by sea. Ferries and hydrofoils run frequently from Naples (about 45-80 minutes) and Sorrento (about 20-30 minutes), and seasonally from Positano, Amalfi, Ischia and other bays. From Naples Airport, transfer to Molo Beverello or Calata di Massa port by taxi or shuttle bus.
Most visitors walk between the Piazzetta, viewpoints and shops of Capri town, then use the funicular between the port (Marina Grande) and the town. Small buses and shared taxis connect Capri town, Anacapri and the beaches. Rental cars are not practical, so private drivers or scooters are used only occasionally.
Two full days is the sweet spot for Capri. One day covers Capri town, the Faraglioni viewpoint, Gardens of Augustus and Via Krupp, while a second day is enough for Anacapri, Monte Solaro and a boat tour of the island. Day-trippers often see the highlights in one busy day but miss the calm evenings.
Yes, Capri is very safe for tourists, with a small population and strong seasonal police presence. Petty pickpocketing can occur on crowded ferries and around the Piazzetta at peak hours. Use common-sense precautions and keep bags zipped in crowds and on public transport.
The Blue Grotto is one of Capri's most iconic sights, thanks to the vivid blue light inside the small sea cave. It can be crowded and short (a few minutes inside a rowboat) with several fees layered on top of each other, so temper expectations. Visit early morning on a calm day for the best conditions.
