Located just in front of Naples and definitely one of the most known islands in the world, Capri plunges into the blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is a rocky island with many cliffs, boulders, several caves, bays, and breathtaking beaches.
Besides the wonderful boating and swimming spots, the island of Capri has numerous highlights inland, which also deserve a visit. It is separated by three distinct areas: the glamourous Capri Town, the whitewashed Anacapri, and the busy port of Marina Grande. One of the best things to do is to climb the Phoenician steps, connecting Capri to Anacapri. The stone and its epigraphs confirm that the steps were built by Greeks from the 8th century BC, representing a landscape of truly ancient origin. Modern excavations also show that emperor Augustus and Tiberio resided here, bringing the legend of Capri to life. Today, you can visit the Gardens of Augustus and the archaeological site of Villa Jovis, featuring the remains of Emperor Tiberius. Both areas have beautiful nature, intoxicating views, and a mix of history, where traditions of the distant past still survive.
Putting the long history of Capri behind, you can now enjoy the heart of the cinematic town, along with the shopping streets and the famous small Piazzetta. Here, you can expect a distinct upscale atmosphere and catch wonderful views of the sea by the Certosa di San Giacomo monastery. Other wonderful viewpoints can be admired from Monte Solaro or from Via Tragara and Belvedere, which opens up to a stunning scene over the Faraglioni, the most recognizable landmark of the island. If you want to dig deeper into Italy's hidden gems, a boat tour in Capri is guaranteed to take your breath away.
Past the high cliffs of Positano, you can follow the rocky Amalfi Coast. You can also combine your boat tours in Capri with Ischia and Procida, and many other destinations near the Gulf of Naples. Both of these options are best with a skipper on board, so renting a catamaran or sailboat is the go-to choice. This way, you can spend anywhere between a few days to a week and have plenty of time to explore beaches, quiet coves, and many treasures ashore. Passing through Marina Grande is a common itinerary and arrival point to most of the owners that offer boat rentals in Capri on our platform.
