La Piazzetta, Capri

La Piazzetta & the old town

Italy's living room: open-air tables, luxury boutiques and the funicular that climbs from the port in four minutes. The first place to head once you land at Marina Grande.

Blue Grotto in Capri, a stop reachable from Sorrento by ferry

Blue Grotto

The most famous sea cave in the Mediterranean: intense blue reflections on the walls, reached only by small boat from the sea — combines it with the ferry.

The Faraglioni of Capri from the sea, symbol of the Sorrento Capri route

The Faraglioni

The three iconic rock stacks rising from the sea south of the island. Best admired from Punta Tragara, or up close with a boat tour.

Via Krupp, Capri

Via Krupp

A dramatic zigzag stairway carved into the cliffs in 1902, linking the Gardens of Augustus to Marina Piccola. Often closed to protect the fragile rock face, best admired from the Gardens of Augustus terrace above.

View from Monte Solaro, Anacapri, reachable in a day with the Sorrento Capri ferry

Anacapri & Monte Solaro

The quieter half of the island, up the hill from the port. The single-seat chairlift climbs to Monte Solaro in twelve minutes for the widest view over the Gulf, from the Faraglioni to Ischia.
