About the Port
Rising sheer from the Bay of Naples, Capri has drawn admirers since Roman emperors built villas along its cliffs more than two thousand years ago. Whitewashed houses, lemon groves, and flower-draped courtyards line its narrow lanes, while ruins of ancient imperial retreats still overlook the sea. The island's most famous natural feature, the Blue Grotto, rewards visitors who arrive by small boat to see sunlight transform its waters into a luminous sapphire glow.
The central Piazzetta serves as the island's social heart, ringed by cafés perfect for watching island life unfold. Steep, winding streets invite unhurried exploration on foot, leading past boutiques, gardens, and view-filled overlooks toward the sea. Given Capri's cliffside terrain, arrival is typically by tender or ferry, with the town itself reached by funicular or a short uphill walk from the harbor.
Pavlus Recommendations
How our planners would spend a day in Capri.
Take a Boat to the Blue Grotto
Small rowboats ferry visitors through the cave's low entrance to see sunlight ignite the water in electric blue; go early, as lines build quickly and the grotto can close if seas are rough.
Explore the Ruins of Villa Jovis
Emperor Tiberius's clifftop retreat crowns the island's eastern point, reached by a steep hour-long walk from town that rewards climbers with sweeping views over the Bay of Naples.
Ride the Chairlift to Monte Solaro
A short lift from Anacapri glides above gardens and rock to Capri's highest peak, delivering panoramic views of the Faraglioni rocks and Sorrento coastline in about 12 minutes each way.
