Capri rises steeply from the Gulf of Naples. Ferries arrive at Marina Grande, where a funicular climbs to Capri town, while buses continue up to the quieter, higher village of Anacapri.

- Blue Grotto: a sea cave glowing blue, visited by small boat when conditions allow.
- Capri town and the Piazzetta: the tiny main square, with lanes leading to the Gardens of Augustus and views over the Faraglioni.
- Gardens of Augustus: terraced gardens above the Via Krupp hairpin road.

Where to stay
Frequently asked questions
Is Capri worth visiting?
Yes. The coastline, the Faraglioni and the views from Anacapri are exceptional, and a boat trip gives you the most dramatic scenery.
Can I visit the Blue Grotto?
Often yes, but only in calm seas, and entry is by small rowing boat after a queue. Some boat tours include it as an optional extra.
