Plan Capri with Haqqi Tours: day tours, private airport transfers, attraction tickets and packages, run by our own team and confirmed on WhatsApp in Arabic or English.

Step out of your hotel in Capri and the first thing you notice is the light: bright, clear and reflected from a sea so blue it seems lit from below. Bougainvillea spills over whitewashed walls, lemon trees shade narrow lanes, and the only sounds are footsteps, birdsong and the distant hum of a boat rounding the cliffs. Below, the three Faraglioni rocks rise from the water like sentinels.

Capri at first sight

Capri has enchanted visitors since Roman emperors built their villas here two thousand years ago. Small, rugged and impossibly beautiful, the island sits at the mouth of the Bay of Naples, a short ferry ride from Naples and Sorrento. It is Italy's most celebrated island escape, where elegant piazzas, sea caves and clifftop gardens meet a quieter world of hidden footpaths and fishermen's coves.

Why include Capri in your itinerary?

  • The Blue Grotto and sea caves. Capri's coastline is pierced by luminous caves, above all the Blue Grotto, where sunlight filtered through the water turns the cavern a glowing sapphire, an experience found nowhere else in the Mediterranean.
  • Gardens and views above the sea. From the Gardens of Augustus to the summit of Monte Solaro, Capri offers some of Italy's most breathtaking panoramas, with the Faraglioni rocks, the Amalfi Coast and Vesuvius spread out below.
  • Roman history in a glamorous setting. The ruins of Villa Jovis, built by Emperor Tiberius on the island's eastern cliffs, sit alongside elegant piazzas, artisan sandal makers and perfume workshops, blending ancient history with timeless Italian style.

Signature experiences in Capri

The Blue Grotto and a Boat Tour of the Island

Circle the island by boat to see Capri as the Romans did: past the Green Grotto, the White Grotto and beneath the arch of the Faraglioni. When the sea is calm, transfer to a small rowing boat and slip through the low entrance of the Blue Grotto into its glowing interior. Our guided day tours include the boat circuit and expert timing, as access depends on tides and weather.

Caprese Flavours

Capri gave its name to the world's simplest salad: ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil and olive oil. Taste ravioli capresi filled with caciotta cheese and marjoram, grilled fish caught that morning, and torta caprese, a rich chocolate and almond cake. Finish with a lemon granita in the shade. Our guided day tours point you to trusted family restaurants away from the busiest terraces.

Anacapri and Monte Solaro

Higher and quieter than Capri Town, Anacapri is a village of white houses, ceramic-tiled churches and peaceful lanes. Visit Villa San Michele with its gardens and sphinx overlooking the bay, then ride the single-seat chairlift to the summit of Monte Solaro, the island's highest point, for sweeping views. Our guided day tours connect Anacapri and Capri Town efficiently using the island's small buses and taxis.

The Piazzetta and Gardens of Augustus

Capri Town centres on the Piazzetta, a tiny square of cafés and the clock tower, where everyone gathers to watch the world pass. From here, lanes of boutiques lead to the Gardens of Augustus, terraced with flowers and offering the classic view of the Faraglioni and the winding Via Krupp below. Our guided day tours reveal the island's history and quieter corners beyond the crowds.

Day Trip from Capri to the Amalfi Coast

From Capri, boats and ferries cross to Positano and Amalfi, letting you combine the island with the mainland's most famous coastline. Explore Positano's cascading streets and Amalfi's cathedral before returning across the bay. We issue ferry tickets and can arrange guided day tours and private cars with drivers on the mainland through our trusted local partners, so the whole day flows without a single worry about connections.

Neighbourhoods and quarters to know in Capri

Capri Town

The island's elegant centre surrounds the Piazzetta, with boutique hotels, designer shops, cafés and lanes leading to the Gardens of Augustus. It is lively by day and enchanting in the evening once the day visitors leave. Safe and polished, it suits couples and travellers who want to be close to everything.

Anacapri

Set higher on the island's western side, Anacapri feels more local and peaceful, with whitewashed houses, family-run restaurants and access to Monte Solaro and the Blue Grotto. It is calm, very safe and slightly better value, making it ideal for families and travellers who prefer a relaxed, authentic village atmosphere.

Marina Grande

Marina Grande is the island's main harbour, where ferries from Naples and Sorrento arrive and the funicular climbs to Capri Town. It has colourful houses, a pebble beach and seafood restaurants by the water. Staying here is convenient for early ferries and boat tours, though it is busy when day visitors arrive.

Marina Piccola

On the southern side, Marina Piccola is a small bay with clear water, beach clubs and views of the Faraglioni. It is the best place on Capri for swimming and lazy afternoons by the sea, reached by bus or by the scenic Via Krupp when open. It is peaceful and safe, especially in the evening.

How long to stay in Capri and how to pair it

Recommended stay

We recommend at least two nights on Capri. A day trip shows the highlights, but staying overnight lets you enjoy the island at its most magical, in the evening and early morning when the day visitors have left. Three nights allow time for Anacapri, Monte Solaro, Villa Jovis and a full boat tour.

How to pair it

Capri links naturally to Naples and Sorrento, both a short ferry ride away. A seven-day loop pairs Rome with Naples and Capri. In ten days, add Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, then continue to Florence. A fourteen-day journey can begin in Milan or Venice, include Lake Como or Verona, Florence and Pisa, then Rome, ending with a few slow days on Capri.

Best time to visit Capri and the rhythm of the day

Best months

The best time to visit Capri is from May to June and from September to early October, when the sea is warm, the weather is sunny and ferries run frequently, but crowds are lighter than in midsummer. July and August are glamorous but very busy. From November to March, many hotels and restaurants close and ferries are less frequent.

The daily rhythm

Mornings on Capri begin early with a ferry or boat tour, ideally before the crowds arrive, often aiming for the Blue Grotto while the sea is calm. Midday is for lunch on a shaded terrace and a swim at Marina Piccola. In the late afternoon the day visitors depart, and the Piazzetta fills with residents and guests for the evening.

On-the-ground logistics in Capri

Arrival

Capri has no airport; most travellers fly into Naples International Airport, then take a transfer to the port and a fast ferry of about fifty minutes to Marina Grande. From Sorrento, the crossing takes around twenty to thirty minutes. We issue flight and ferry tickets and arrange private airport transfers to the port so the journey flows smoothly.

Getting around

Capri is small but steep. The funicular links Marina Grande to Capri Town, while small public buses and classic open-top taxis connect Anacapri, the Blue Grotto and Marina Piccola. Visitors cannot bring cars in high season, and ride-hailing apps are not used. Walking paths are beautiful, so bring comfortable shoes and allow time.

Local etiquette tip

Capri is relaxed yet elegant, and locals appreciate visitors who respect the island's calm. Swimwear and bare chests belong on the beach, not in the Piazzetta or the lanes of town. Keep voices low in residential areas, avoid leaving litter on footpaths, and greet shopkeepers and restaurant staff with a warm buongiorno or buonasera.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what travellers ask most about Capri.

Where should first-time visitors stay in Capri?

First-time visitors usually stay in Capri Town for its elegance and easy access to the Piazzetta and gardens, or in Anacapri for a calmer, more local village atmosphere. Both are safe and well connected. Our team can recommend a hotel and arrange ferry tickets and transfers from Naples airport to the port.

Can Capri be done as a day trip, or does it need an overnight stay?

Many travellers visit Capri as a day trip from Naples or Sorrento, and it is very rewarding. But staying one or two nights lets you enjoy the island in the quiet evenings and early mornings, when it is at its most beautiful. We arrange ferry tickets and guided day tours either way.

What is the dress code and etiquette in Capri?

Capri is chic but relaxed. Light, elegant clothing suits the island, while swimwear should stay on the beach. Comfortable sandals or shoes are essential for steep lanes. Keep noise low, respect residents' privacy and greet people politely. Our guides share local customs as you explore.

Is Capri tourist friendly?

Yes. Capri has welcomed travellers for centuries, and its hotels, restaurants and boat operators are used to international visitors, with English widely spoken. The island is small and easy to navigate. Our guided day tours, ferry tickets and transfers make the journey from the mainland smooth and stress-free.

Is it safe to travel to Capri now?

Capri is considered one of Italy's safest destinations, with very little crime. Take care on steep paths, in the sun, and on crowded ferries and buses. Before departure, check your own government's official travel advice, and keep our WhatsApp line handy throughout your stay.

What are the must-do things in Capri?

The must-do things in Capri include the Blue Grotto, a boat tour around the island and the Faraglioni, the Gardens of Augustus, the chairlift to Monte Solaro, Villa San Michele in Anacapri, Villa Jovis and an evening in the Piazzetta. Our guided day tours combine these in comfort.

How many days do you need in Capri?

One day covers Capri's highlights, but two to three days is ideal. That allows time for a full boat tour, Anacapri and Monte Solaro, the walk to Villa Jovis, a swim at Marina Piccola, and quiet evenings in the Piazzetta after the day visitors have gone.

What can I book in Capri with Haqqi Tours?

Day tours, private airport transfers, flight tickets and ferry tickets, including Capri Island and Grottos Small Group Boat Cruise and Capri Caves and Beaches Guided Kayak Tour with Photos. Each has its own page, and the WhatsApp desk combines any of them into one plan with one written price.

How do I get from the airport to my hotel in Capri?

Naples Capodichino Airport (NAP) is only about 7 km from the centre and the port; Pompeii is half an hour, Sorrento about an hour, Positano and Amalfi around an hour and a half by the coast road. Our private transfer meets you at arrivals with a name board, tracks your flight and takes you door to door at a fixed price for the whole vehicle; the transfer pages list every route.

Is there public transport from the airport to Capri?

From Naples Airport a bus or taxi takes you to the port, and a ferry then crosses to Marina Grande; that works with light luggage and a fixed ferry time. A private car from the terminal to the ferry quay, or straight to Sorrento for the shorter crossing, is simpler with luggage or children; on Capri itself small local vehicles take over because visitor cars are restricted in summer. With luggage, a family or a late flight, the private car is the simpler choice.

Which tours are available in Capri?

Among them: Capri Island and Grottos Small Group Boat Cruise and Capri Caves and Beaches Guided Kayak Tour with Photos. Each page says whether the day is private or small-group, what it includes and how long it lasts.

Are the tours private or in a group?

Both exist, and each tour page says which. A private tour has a vehicle and guide for your party alone; the desk can make most group tours private on request.

How do I book?

Fill in the form on any page or message us on WhatsApp with the date, the number of travellers and the hotel. A member of our team confirms the price and the details in writing within minutes.

Are the prices fixed?

Yes - every price is agreed in writing on WhatsApp before you travel and does not change on the day.

Do the drivers and guides speak Arabic or English?

It depends on the city and the day, so we do not promise a particular language; tell us your preference and we do our best. The WhatsApp desk always works in Arabic and English.

Can I change or cancel a booking in Capri?

Yes, in the same WhatsApp conversation. The terms depend on the product and on how close to the date the change comes; the desk states them before you pay.
