Top Things to do in Island of Capri
The 10 Best Nature & Parks in Island of Capri, Campania
The crags and grottoes of Capri have been dazzling visitors since the Ancient Greeks first settled the island. It’s easy to understand why artists and writers have been immortalizing Capri’s beauty and history for centuries. Climb aboard a wooden boat to tour the Grotto Azzurra, a cave filled with spectacularly blue water. Savor some gelato while you stroll around the harbors of Marina Piccola or Marina Grande, an ancient Roman fishing port.

From Piazza della Vittoria you can take a breathtaking chairlift to the top of Mount Solaro, the highest point on Capri at 1,932 feet.

If you’re in Anacapri you must go on the chairlift and visit the mountain peak - if you are in Capri for more than a day it’s also easy to get to by bus from the Marina or Main Square. The views across the whole island are simply stunning, and reached by single seat chairlift which climbs the mountain. It’s so peaceful and calm and a wonderful experience (unless you have vertigo - it might not be for you!). You get to the top on arrival the views are breathtaking. You can see the whole island across to the mainland and even over to Mount Vesuvius. The return trip is well worth the €12 - I didn’t see the stairs or how you’d actually make the journey back down again....

The extraordinary and rugged beauty of Capri is signified by these timeless rock formations jutting from the sea.

From the Arco naturale, we hiked to villa Malaparte and to Faraglioni de Capri, which are 3 iconic rocky peaks of the island. Their name comes directly from the geological term “faraglione”, meaning “rocky mass detached from the coast by erosion”. We were amazed by: - the Faraglione di Terra the highest (109 meters), which is still attached to the island - Faraglione di Mezzo (81 meters), which is crossed by a natural arch - Faraglione di Fuori (104 meters), which is the furthest from the coast - Scoglio del Monacone, which is more distant and whose name comes from the presence of monk seals, in older times. Altogether, I highly Recommend to hike to Faraglioni de Capri! Unfonrtunately, because we only spent one day in Capri, we had not time to go to Faraglioni using motor boat to have wonderful viewpoints on Faraglioni. I’ll come back!

As my sister and I was walking up to Villa Jovis we came across an old man at a gate telling us to come in and see the views. It was well worth it there were so many different viewpoints and some steps to amazing views. The old man had asked us to leave a tip in a tray if we could which was fine because he was so friendly and had bottles of water for anyone who needed them. I would definitely recommend dropping in on the way to Villa Jovis and leaving a small tip for the man as he is a volunteer in his 80's who supplies bottles of water.

You can swim or climb the cliffs in the Green Grotto, which looks like an enormous liquid emerald.

Although the Blue Grotto gets all the attention, if you are cruising around the Island of Capri you'll likely see this grotto and it is really pretty to see - crystal clear waters and if you look close you can see jelly fish sometimes - if you do, don't jump in for a swim!
7. White Grotta

Set midway up a rock face, this cavern is filled with stalactites and stalagmites, where the limestone rock seems to reflect only white rays of light.

White Grotto is one of the stops during the boat tour that you take from Capri around the island. Beautiful rock formations (your boatman will point at the spot that resembles a statue of Madonna) and water! Not really so impressive like Green Grotto and the breathtaking like Blue Grotto, but very lovely and worth seeing.

An elegant and beautiful garden and vantage point for viewing the pristine beauty of the oceans of Capri. We enjoyed the beauty.
