Capri Island in Italy Tours
Capri is a spectacular island in the Bay of Naples, off the Sorrentine Peninsula in Italy’s Campania region. Surrounded by the deep blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, the island is celebrated for its dramatic coastline, picturesque villages, scenic viewpoints and Mediterranean atmosphere.
A visit to Capri offers the chance to explore Marina Grande, Capri town and Anacapri, while discovering famous attractions such as the Faraglioni rock formations, Blue Grotto, Gardens of Augustus, Monte Solaro, Natural Arch and Villa Jovis. Boat tours around the island provide spectacular views of its cliffs, sea caves and iconic coastal scenery.
Capri is also ideal for walking, with pedestrian streets, scenic trails and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Mediterranean. Ferries and hydrofoils connect the island with Naples and Sorrento throughout the year, with additional summer connections from destinations along the Amalfi Coast.
What is included & excluded
- Capri is accessible by sea, with ferries and hydrofoils operating from Naples and Sorrento; additional seasonal routes operate from other locations.
- The island is largely explored on foot, by bus or by funicular. Comfortable footwear is recommended because many streets are pedestrian-only and some routes are steep or include steps.
- Boat tours and visits to individual attractions are subject to their respective operating schedules and weather/sea conditions.
- Visitors should follow local instructions and access restrictions at archaeological sites, museums, gardens and other attractions.
- During the busy summer season, visitors are advised to plan ahead because of crowds, particularly around Marina Grande.
- Ferry schedules and prices can change, particularly in response to sea conditions, so travellers should check the latest information before departure.
