Activity itinerary

Marina Grande

Begin your Capri adventure at Marina Grande, once a quiet fishing village and now the island’s vibrant port. Colourful houses line the waterfront, where ferries from Naples, Sorrento, and Ischia dock daily. Stroll along the promenade, watch fishing boats and yachts, and enjoy the lively atmosphere with cafés, shops, and the island’s largest beach nearby.

Piazza Umberto I

The Piazzetta, or Piazza Umberto I, is Capri’s iconic main square and the centre of island life. Surrounded by historic buildings and bustling cafés, it’s the perfect spot to soak up the local atmosphere. Pause for a coffee and people-watch as locals and visitors mingle in this lively gathering place.

Via Camerelle

Via Camerelle is Capri’s renowned shopping street, lined with luxury boutiques and elegant shopfronts. Window-shop famous Italian and international brands or simply enjoy the stylish ambiance. The street is shaded by lush greenery and offers a pleasant walk between the Piazzetta and the island’s scenic viewpoints.

Gardens of Augustus (Pass by)

Visit the Gardens of Augustus for panoramic terraces overlooking the Faraglioni rocks and Marina Piccola. The lush, flower-filled gardens are a peaceful retreat above the sea. Don’t miss Via Krupp, a historic stone pathway with dramatic switchbacks carved into the cliffs below.

Via Tragara

Follow Via Tragara, a picturesque lane lined with villas and gardens, to reach the best viewpoints of the Faraglioni sea stacks. For a closer look, visit La Fontelina or Da Luigi beach clubs, nestled at the water’s edge. These spots offer unforgettable perspectives of Capri’s most famous rock formations.

Pizzolungo

Embark on the Pizzolungo trail, a scenic path winding along Capri’s eastern coast. Pass through fragrant pine forests and visit the Natural Arch, Grotta di Matermania, and the striking Casa Malaparte perched above the sea. The route ends at the panoramic Belvedere del Pizzolungo, perfect for photos.

Marina Piccola

Descend to Marina Piccola, a sheltered bay on Capri’s southern side, known for its clear water and views of the Faraglioni. Sunbathe on the pebble beach or swim in the calm sea. The area is dotted with beach clubs and seaside cafés, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing break.

Anacapri

Travel up to Anacapri, a quieter town with a laid-back vibe and narrow, flower-filled streets. Browse artisan shops, visit local museums, and enjoy a slower pace of life. Anacapri is a great base for exploring some of the island’s most scenic trails and historic sites.

Villa San Michele (Pass by)

Visit Villa San Michele, the former home of Swedish doctor Axel Munthe, perched on a hilltop in Anacapri. Wander through lush gardens filled with sculptures and Mediterranean plants. The villa’s terraces offer sweeping views over the Gulf of Naples and the Sorrentine Peninsula.

Monte Solaro

Take the chairlift or hike up to Monte Solaro, the highest peak on Capri at 589 metres. From the summit, enjoy breathtaking 360-degree views of the island, the Bay of Naples, and the Amalfi Coast. It’s a peaceful spot for photos and a picnic above the clouds.

Fortini Coastal Walk

Walk this scenic coastal trail in Anacapri, linking old forts and offering dramatic cliffside views, biodiversity, and a less-traveled side of the island

Punta Carena Lighthouse

End your day at Punta Carena Lighthouse, located on Capri’s western tip. This scenic spot is famous for its dramatic sunsets over the open sea. Find a spot on the rocks or at a nearby café to watch the sky change colours as the sun dips below the horizon.

Grotta di Matromania (Pass by)

Explore this atmospheric cave, which features impressive stalactites and a tranquil setting away from the crowds. It’s a rewarding stop for those interested in geology and local legends

Villa Jovis (Pass by)

Hike to the ruins of Emperor Tiberius’s Villa Jovis, one of the island’s most significant Roman sites. On the way, detour into Parco Astarita, a peaceful, little-visited park with panoramic terraces and the chance to spot wild goats.
