Capri

Top Attractions

Blue Grotto

Nature

A sea cave where sunlight through an underwater opening turns the water electric blue.

Grotta Azzurra, Anacapri
Boat transfer plus grotto entry
1–2 hours including transfer
Only open in calm seas — check conditions the same morning; go early to avoid long waits at the mouth.

Monte Solaro Chairlift

Viewpoint

A twelve-minute chairlift to the island's summit at 589 metres, with views to the Amalfi Coast.

Piazza Vittoria, Anacapri
Return chairlift ticket
1–2 hours
Go on a clear morning; it can be cool and windy at the top even in summer.

Villa San Michele di Axel Munthe

Museum

A Swedish physician's hillside villa, sphinx terrace and gardens above the Bay of Naples.

Viale Axel Munthe 34, Anacapri
Villa ticket
1 hour
Late afternoon light on the terrace is spectacular and the crowds are gone.

Faraglioni & Via Krupp

Nature

Capri's three sea stacks, and the hairpin path carved down the cliff to Marina Piccola.

Giardini di Augusto, Capri
Small entry fee for the gardens
1–2 hours
Via Krupp closes in bad weather or rockfall risk; the Gardens of Augustus viewpoint always delivers.

Boat Tour Around the Island

Experience

The full circuit of grottoes, arches and cliffs, with swim stops in clear water.

Marina Grande, Capri
Group or private boat charter
2–3 hours
Morning departures have the calmest sea; a private skipper can time the grottoes to avoid the queues.
