Top Things to do in Capri
What to do and see in Capri, Campania: The Best Things to do
Capri is pure romance—dramatic views, the bluest ocean you’ve ever seen, even the scent of lemon blossoms in the air. The luminescent Blue Grotto, striking Faraglioni Rocks and the Palazzo al Mare are popular with travelers, but for a real treat, snorkel at Marina Piccola beach. It’s said to be the spot where Odysseus nearly succumbed to the Sirens’ song… a fitting legend for this alluring island.

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!

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!

Great lookout in the front of the hotel. Can be busy but who is in a hurry over here? It’s the start of the walking path to the restaurant on the shore and the beach club. Recommended

From the villa Jovis, we hiked to the famous Arco naturale, which is an elegant arch of 18 meters high and 12 meters wide. This beautiful arch is carved into the white limestone rock, resulting from geological erosion. We saw that the arch hanged over the sea, providing wonderful panoramic views over the Gulf of Naples. Then, we went down to the Grotte di Matromania; our guide explained us that this natural cave was transformed in Roman times into a luxurious nymphaeum, that has disappeared. Altogether, I highly recommend to hike the fantastic Arco naturale!!! It’s a peaceful paradise.

Perched on the top of Mount Tiberio, at more than 1,200 feet above sea level, are the ruins of Capri's largest and most lavish Roman villa.
Reviewed By Remmy5 - Sheffield, United Kingdom
We walked from the middle of Capri to Villa Jovis ( calling in at Parco Astarita en route). It is a fairly easy walk but takes about 45 minutes. Villa Jovis was 6 euros entry fee and you get a free audio guide to provide information in English as you go round. It was really interesting and a great way to spend an hour. Site was really quiet, there were probably only 5 other people there. Well worth the walk.

Take a walk around the center of town to meet the locales, relax at a trattoria or watch the people go by from any of the park benches surrounding this busy square.
Reviewed By 318nd - Lincolnshire, United Kingdom
The square isn’t big, but it is beautiful. It is just off a row of expensive shops, with a clock tower, crowds of tourists, and cafes with outdoor seating. Take a table and have a drink and a bite to eat, it will cost you, but it will be worth it.

This small beach is located on the Southeastern part of Capri, next to and way below the Giardini di Augusto. The surrounding cliffs protect it from the wind and the view of the Faraglioni provides a spectacular surrounding. The water is warm most of the year and unless you run into a storm, quite calm. This is a great place to spend a few hours, soaking up the sun and the surrounding beauty.
