Why Capri?

Upscale shopping, ancient villa ruins, and unique boat excursions like the Blue Grotto and Punta di Tragara make Capri a favorite day trip while visiting the Amalfi Coast.

When to visit

April-June, September-October

Capri is worth a day trip while staying in the Amalfi Coast. See my guide for more information about when to visit!

How to get there and back

Capri is a small island so is only accessible by boat, but ferries arrive multiple tu,es throughout the day from all major ports on the mainland. I recommend an early start each day, taking the first ferry out and returning around 5pm to enjoy the evening back “home”.

Book your ferry ahead:

Once in Capri’s Marina Grande you can take the funicolare (funicular) or can take a local taxi throughout the island. I recommend taking the funicular up to Piazzetta first to explore the stores and central area of Capri but be prepared to take a taxi to either Villa Jovis or Villa San Michele (on different ends of the island).

Funicular: Marina Grande <> Piazzetta

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hello and welcome to my Thatch profile! I am an Irish and American dual-citizen, currently living in Tampa, Florida. I have visited 3 continents, 20 countries, and 23 US states. I love to travel and share beautiful views from a bird's eye view with my drone. You can get a sense for my travels on my instagram @jonathandrones. In traveling with friends and family, I've developed a knack for finding the best spots to submerse into the local culture. My type of travel includes both a cultural experience and a relaxed one each day, as well as focusing on quality over quantity (or price!). You can expect a mix of luxury and thrifty lodgings, restaurants, and experiences in each of my travel guides. I love to plan travel as much as actually doing it.
