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.

Perhaps the best known place in Capri, perhaps 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:

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 of the funicular to look at the view: it is a spectacle. 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. It can be reached on foot from Via Krupp or by bus from Marina Grande. And remember that the sun goes away from here at 4 so we recommend bathing in the morning! Here you will find two small free beaches and then private beaches.
