We start from Marina Grande which is the main arrival point on the island: it is the port of Capri and from here the comings and goings of tourists and boats and people are fascinating. It is the first thing you notice coming from the mainland, a wall of colorful houses, like all the islands of the Mediterranean. Here you will also find one of the sandy beaches of the Capresi, to the right of the quay of the port, looking at the island. One of the oldest and most important churches on the island is located in Marina Grande, dedicated to Capri’s patron saint, San Costanzo. The church, which probably dates from the 5th century, is officially named Maria Santissima della Libera but locals often call in the Church of San Costanzo.

Perhaps the best known place in Capri, the first thing you think about if you think of Capri. Its color is due to the light that enters it and to the play of refraction it makes with the backdrop. A unique show. It can only be visited aboard small boats that carry a maximum of 4 people, plus the boatman, since the entrance is very narrow and only when the sea conditions allow it and in any case from November to March it is almost always closed.
Useful info:
You can get the Blue Grotto from Marina Grande by boat and then change for the entrance or from Anacapri by bus and then board the boat. The cost of the ticket is 18 euros.

From Marina Grande you can get the Piazzetta using the funicular or one of the buses that go up to the center of Capri, in Piazza Umberto I from all over the world known as the Piazzetta. Before choosing one of the trendy bars, stop for a few moments on the terrace to look at the view: it is a spectacle. The Piazzetta is often called “the drawing room of the world”. Everyone from Northern European princesses, to Italian actors, to American billionaires, to your next door neighbor sits elbow to elbow. On summer nights this is the heart of Capri, for those lucky ones who will spend the night on the most magical island there is. Via Camerelle and via Le Botteghe, the two most exclusive shopping streets in Capri, wind from here.

It is from here that the photos are taken with the Faraglioni in the background. The gardens rise on the remains of an ancient Roman villa and it was the German Krupp who had them built who also built a road carved into the rock and leading up to Marina Piccola so that at the time, at the time, it was possible to have a privileged and private road to reach the Gardens and the Certosa di San Giacomo. Via Krupp, however, is now closed due to the danger of falling rocks.

The bay of Marina Piccola is lucky enough to be wedged between the two sides of the island and therefore not to be exposed to the wind so it is the right place to stay at the sea almost all year round (the Capri people are able to swim here even on sunny winter days) and is the place on Capri from which you can swim with a view of the Faraglioni. From the center of Capri you can reach Marina Piccola quickly and easily on foot, via the panoramic Via Krupp which starts just beneath the Gardens of Augustus. If you don’t want to walk, you can always catch a bus from the center of Capri instead.

Remember that the sun goes away from here at 04:00pm so we recommend bathing in the morning! Here you will find two small free beaches and then private beaches.

It is the lighthouse of Anacapri, on the slopes of the Migliera, of the defense walls built by the British to defend the island. The light house  was built in 1866. The second tallest in Italy (after Genoa), it is among the most important of all those guarding over the Tyrrhenian Sea. Caressed by crystal clear water and bathed in the sun all day long: it’s not surprising if Faro is the islanders’ favorite beach.
How to get to the lighthouse and Punta Carena?
By bus, from the main Viale Tommaso de Tommaso stop, in Anacapri.
On foot, walking along Viale Tommaso de Tommaso and Via Nuova del Faro

One of the most unique museum collections on the island is located just a few steps from the Church of San Michele on Via Giuseppe Orlandi.

The wind and the sea have carved this huge arch in the rock overlooking the sea.
The Arco Naturale, or Natural Arch, is a Paleolithic rock formation about 12 meters wide and 20 meters high that was formed by millenia of erosion and geologic processes which gradually created its unique arch formation. From the small square facing the arch, there are views over the Sorrentine Penisola, especially Punta Campanella, and the islets of the Li Galli archipelago.Along the route, there are a number of scenic overlooks which let you enjoy the view from directly under the stone formation; or you can enjoy views of the Natural Arch from the sea. If you take a boat tout of the island your skipper will stop for a minute off the coast and point it out!
