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 advantage of the island’s many walking paths for stunning views and historical sites.
      • Take a chairlift to the top of Monte Solaro for incredible views.
      • Visit the Gardens of Augustus.
      • Walk Via Krupp, which recently reopened after repairs.
      • 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.
