OVERVIEW

Capri rises steeply from the sea off the Bay of Naples, with two main settlements linked by winding roads and paths. White houses, gardens and luxury shops occupy the higher slopes, while small harbours and beach clubs sit below cliffs. Sea caves, natural arches and tall offshore rocks define much of the coastline.

Boat trips reveal the island’s scale and geology more clearly than the busy central streets. Footpaths and chairlifts reach quieter viewpoints above the crowds, especially around the higher western village. Day visitors concentrate heavily near the main port and central square, so staying later allows a calmer experience of the lanes and gardens.
