Capri Day Trip from Naples

This excursion departs from Naples and heads to Capri, the famous island just a few miles from the city. If you choose this option, you won’t have to worry about transport, as a coach will collect you from the meeting point (there are several to choose from during the booking process) and take you to the port. Once there, you’ll board a boat with the other participants and arrive in Capri in about an hour. In total, the excursion lasts around 8 hours and includes a local guide who will tell you about the history and secrets of this picturesque town.

Before disembarking to explore Capri at your leisure, the boat will take a tour around the island, giving you the chance to admire the following attractions:

• Grotta Bianca – A striking cave formed by the erosion of a karst system caused by the action of the waves. In Roman times, it was used as a boat storage area.
• Grotta Verde – Also known as Grotta dei Turchi (Cave of the Turks), it owes its name to the emerald colour of its waters. In the past, it was used by pirates to carry out ambushes.
• Arco Naturale – A famous limestone formation shaped like an arch. From a distance, it resembles an elephant’s trunk.
• Villa Malaparte – A splendid example of rationalist architecture, it stands out for its rectangular shape, its bright red colour and its location atop a rocky outcrop.
• Punta Carena – A strip of land jutting out into the sea, situated in the south-west of the island. Here stands a historic lighthouse built in 1866.
• Faraglioni – Three large rocks rising out of the sea. They are the undisputed symbol of the island.

Once the tour is over, you’ll disembark at the small harbour and have around 5 hours to explore Capri’s attractions. Your first stop could be the famous Piazzetta, with its characteristic bars and restaurants. It’s the ideal place to grab a bite to eat, but please note that this is at your own expense.

You can use the remaining time to visit Villa Jovis ( a Roman-era villa dedicated to Jupiter), the incomparable Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto), walk to the village of Anacapri, or explore the Belvedere Tragara scenic walk. In the afternoon, you’ll take the boat back to Naples.
