In this episode of our podcast, Kimberly and Tommaso share tips on visiting the island of Capri, including accommodations, activities, and dining experiences. They highlight how to make the most of a trip to Capri.


Key Points:


Planning Your Trip to Capri:



  • Begin looking for accommodations in the summer before your trip, especially if traveling in the summer months.

  • Consider staying slightly away from the main piazza to avoid crowds.

  • Use Kimberly’s tip for navigating crowded areas: designate a meeting spot.


The Two Villages on the Island:



  • Capri has two villages: Capri and Anacapri.

  • Anacapri offers a more tranquil experience but still has plenty of choice.

  • Capri is more well-known from its history of a celebrity hotspot, but a lovely village at the same time.


Activities and Sights:

  • Take a chairlift to the top of Monte Solaro for incredible views.

  • Explore Villa Jovis.

  • Walk the Pizzolungo path for the best views of the Faraglioni rocks.

  • Discover the Charterhouse of San Giacomo, a 14th-century monastery.


Boating Around Capri:



  • Consider renting a traditional wooden gozzo or choose from a variety of motorboats and sailboats.

  • Private boats stop at the best swimming spots as you cruise around the island.

  • Being on any type of boat provides a unique perspective of the Faraglioni rocks.


Capri Cuisine:



  • Capri offers sophisticated dining experiences with beautifully presented dishes.

  • Seafood reigns here but you can find a wide variety to choose from.
