Things to do in Capri

One of the most beloved locations on the island is Anacapri, a quieter hilltop town filled with whitewashed streets, artisan shops, and sweeping views. It offers a relaxed contrast to Capri Town’s luxury boutiques and buzzing piazzas. Both towns are well worth exploring — each offers a completely different feel.

Don’t miss Marina Piccola, a sun-drenched bay framed by cliffs where locals and visitors swim in clear waters. Meanwhile, Marina Grande — the island’s colorful main port — is perfect for boat watching and grabbing fresh seafood near the shore.

Popular Areas of Capri

Capri is famous for its Blue Grotto, a sea cave that glows electric blue — a magical experience you can access by small boat. For those who prefer staying on land, hiking the Path of the Forts offers scenic coastal views and ancient ruins.

For something truly special, take the chairlift from Anacapri to Monte Solaro, the island’s highest point. The ride is peaceful and the panoramic views from the top stretch across the Bay of Naples all the way to Mount Vesuvius.
