Where you leave from, where you arrive.
Two ports, a few minutes at sea, an island worth the whole trip.
Marina Piccola
- On foot from Piazza Tasso in 15 minutes, or by bus. There's also a lift from the Villa Comunale.
- Paid parking nearby, but it fills up fast in high season. Public transport (bus) is usually the easier option.
- Bars and restaurants in the port area, handy if you catch the first morning crossing.
Marina Grande
- Funicular to the Piazzetta in 2 minutes, straight from the port. Buses and taxis to Anacapri at the exit.
- Luggage storage at the port, useful if you want a boat tour before heading up to town.
- Boat tours to the Faraglioni and Blue Grotto leave from Marina Grande. combines them with the ferry.
What awaits you on Capri.
Find the crossing and discover what to see on the island. guides you from the right crossing to the best experiences.
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
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
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
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.
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.
