Capri is a small island of cliffs and coves reached by ferry from Naples or Sorrento. A funicular climbs from the harbour to the Piazzetta in Capri town, and a chairlift runs from Anacapri up Monte Solaro. Boat trips circle the island and visit the Blue Grotto when the sea is calm.

Capri questions

Can I do Capri on a cruise stop in Naples?

Yes. Ferries leave near the cruise terminal, but allow a safe margin to get back before all aboard.

Is the Blue Grotto always open?

No. It closes when the sea is rough or the tide is high, often at short notice.

How do I get around Capri?

Funicular, small buses and taxis. Much of the island is walkable if you don't mind hills.
