what to do
top attractions, day trips & adventures
blue grotto
This is Capri's most famous attraction, a sea cave known for its unbelievably vibrant blue water. Sunlight reflects off the cave floor and creates an otherworldly glow. Be aware that the Grotto can only be accessed when the sea is calm and the tide is low, so be sure to check the conditions before you go.
Arco Naturale
Arco Naturale is a popular spot for capturing stunning photos, and is is located near the Marina Piccola on the island's southern tip. Visiting Arco Naturale can be easily combined with a trip to Marina Piccola, where you can relax on the beach or explore the small harbor.
people watch in
La Piazzetta
The heart of Capri town, the Piazzetta, is lined with cafes and restaurants with outdoor seating. People watching is a quintessential Capri experience, and enjoying an Aperol Spritz while soaking in the vibrant atmosphere is a great way to do it.
sunset cruise
As the sun dips below the horizon, sail along the dramatic coastline of Capri, taking in the beauty of the Faraglioni rock formations, hidden coves, and grottos. Many cruises offer complimentary drinks and snacks, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenery, even stop for a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters.
off the beaten path
hidden gems beyond the popular tourist attractions
Villa Jovis
History buffs will love this hidden gem. Built by Emperor Tiberius in the 1st century AD (around 27 CE) as his primary residence. Tiberius, weary of the chaos of Rome, sought a peaceful retreat on Capri. Today, you can see the remains of the villa's many levels, which offer a glimpse into Roman life.
lemoncello di capris
Capri boasts ideal growing conditions for lemons, a key ingredient in Limoncello. Limoncello di Capri has two shops. The first near the center of Capri, in Via Roma and the other one in Anacapri, in the typical street of Via San Michele. Take in a Capris sunset & sip on chilled Limoncello after dinner.
spend the day in anacapri
A charming town located at a higher elevation than Capri town, known for its relaxed atmosphere, narrow streets, artisan shops, and the Villa San Michele. Anacapri is located on the slopes of Mount Solaro, with incredible views of the Mediterranean Sea. You can take a chairlift up to the top of Monte Solaro for the best panoramic views.
Azienda Agricola Tenuta Capri
Azienda Agricola Tenuta Capri is a family-run farm nestled in the heart of Capri, offering a unique opportunity to experience local wine production and savor delicious Capri wines. Embark on a guided tour of the vineyards, allowing you to savor the fruits (literally!) of their labor.
