About Isola Capri

Twenty miles from Naples, rising abruptly out of the azure gulf, is the little island of Capri (about 2km long by 1.6km wide) drawing throngs of visitors and day-trippers throughout the summer. 

The island abounds in hills, cliffs, olive groves, vineyards, and garden terraces overlooking the blue water of the Mediterranean. Naples and Vesuvius loom in the distance, with white ferries and hydrofoils zigzagging across the bay. Paths and steps offer countless opportunities to explore the island on foot.

A funicular ascent takes you to the town centre of Capri from the port of Marina Grande, where the ferries and hydrofoils arrive. The island is easy to explore on foot with inexpensive minibuses.
