Fun things to do in Anacapri: 24 fun attractions and activities

Visited October 2024. Approximately a one hour walk from Capri town the Villa is at the summit of Mount Tiberius - sounds daunting but not really. The path leading to the villa is paved/tarmac/concrete and is wheelchair (wheel) friendly. Having said that this is a two-thousand year old site, wheels would be very difficult once inside. A wonderful piece of history with a modest entrance fee and a relaxed atmosphere once inside. Restored in places but most of the structure looks authentically old. With panoramic views of The Bay of Naples including a fantastic view of Sorrento, if you make the effort you will be rewarded when you get there.

A must visit for anyone going to Capri and interested in history. The ruins are not well preserved but still worth seeing and walking through. The walk from the port is not for the weak, particularly during the summer heat. Be prepared for equivalent of about 102 flights of stairs (per my garmin watch) to get there. Along the way, many grocers and shops to stop and get a refreshment to stay cool on the way up and dozens of places for lunch in the way down. Tip, don’t go to the places in busy touristy areas. Find a spot all by itself, there are many.

An large villa with a really interesting history. Read up on Tiberio Augusto before you visit and then let those stories come to life! Entrance is a reasonable price and the park next to it with the cliff top path is amazing. And ad its Capri through views are stunning.

Get ready for quite the trek. A lot of stairs up and up hill walking. The history of this place interesting and the views were amazing, but I definitely would never do it again!

Ugo made this visit more than we could possibly have anticipated. Thanks Ugo! We happened to arrive in time for his post lunch tour of the grounds and we learned a great deal. His info and insight into the location and island were a genuine highlight of the trip to Capri. The villa itself is a surprisingly huge complex, with a major water collection system, strangely topped by a catholic chapel built above it before they realised Emperor Tiberius' palatial villa was underneath. Amazing views also from the chapel and the park next door where we saw goats for the only time on the 3 day visit. It's an uphill trek and there's a great 20min forest short cut across to Villa Lysis which is worth seeing in combination with Villa Jovis but bring a packed lunch or allow enough time. The gardens, houses and sleeping cats along the way made this an even better excursion. I started this review at 4 stars for Villa Jovis but the whole trip was 5 stars.

Absolutely stunning views from Villa Jovis. The ruins themselves are interesting as well, but the five star views are the real reason to make the trek. There is another small park about 100m before the entry to Villa Jovis, which is worth a look as well. We stayed at Hotel Marmela and it was about a 35 minute walk along paved walkways and a few flights of stairs. The walkways are beautiful and very quiet before 1030 am. After that, you will start seeing the day tours. We were there at 1015 and were the only people at the Villa. 6 Euro entry fee and there are toilets at the site.

Worth the hike but be aware it is demanding with some steep segments to get there. The views are worth the hike. 6 euro entrance. Once inside you can walk around the site and take your photos. We did Villa Jovis first as soon as we got to Capri and then Natural Arch.

The museum is not interesting and was a waste of time for us. The only thing of interest was a hall on the ground floor where we saw a few statues found in Blue Grotto.

Waste of time and money… Not much to see. The so called great view is just looking over all kinds of ugly roofs. I literally finished it in 15 minutes.

You can skip this one. Some nice art gallery upstairs but I found the movie boring and the view from the roof is not the best in the area ..

Nice museum for €3.50. Great location in Anacapri along the main pedestrian street in town. Restaurants and other shops nearby.

Eccentric Capri history, artifacts and paintings. Fun, cheap and supports local causes in the community!

The Google's time schedule is wrong at least during off season. Recheck The Time before going

A brilliant building. Very cheap entry if you go to certain museums first. Cool view from the top and an absolutely MUST SEE multimedia show. Artworks interesting too. Shout out to the beautiful and delightful woman who showed me round. Very attentive and helpful.

The soul of Capri at sunset There are lighthouses — and then there’s Punta Carena. Rising boldly from the cliffs of Anacapri, its red façade glowing against the Mediterranean blues, this spot is pure cinematic magic. Whether you arrive by land or sail past by boat, it catches your eye — and your breath. The view is iconic, especially at sunset, when the sky ignites and the sea turns gold. It’s not just beautiful — it’s emotionally moving. You feel like you’ve stumbled into a postcard that’s alive. The surrounding area is rugged and raw, yet welcoming, with sunbathers on the rocks and locals diving into crystalline waters. An unforgettable stop on any Capri itinerary. Bring your camera, your swimsuit — and if you can, stay for the sunset. You’ll carry it with you long after you’ve left.

It's a beautiful spot that's conveniently located just a short bus ride from Anacapri. You'll find restaurants if you want to grab a bite, and there are good areas for swimming. A pleasant place to spend some time.

Beautiful lighthouse in Capri. From here we can see a beautiful sunset. Head down near the water where you will find 2 snack bars. There is also a viewpoint nearby.

If you’ve ever wondered where Poseidon might retire, it’s probably here. The Punta Carena Lighthouse looks like it came straight out of a “Dramatic Isolation” travel brochure. Towering red-and-white, built in 1866, it’s said to be one of Italy’s most important lighthouses. These days it’s more of a photogenic icon where people come to look mysteriously windswept. We saw it from a boat – perched on the cliff like a grumpy old man who's seen too much sea. A few sunbathers around, sheer rocks straight out of a spaghetti western – you half expect Morricone’s music to start playing. If you're cruising by, raise your eyes, snap a pic, and let the lighthouse (and the sun) dazzle you. :)

Beauty on earth. This place took my heart. Felt like all the troubles of the world felt so small while standing on the edge and watching the horizon. Nothing but clear blue sky and the waves hitting the cliffs. There are restaurants and places to chill nearby where you can go to refresh yourself with local cuisines and beverages. Taking a dip in the clean blue ocean never felt this good 💛

Good place for seeing the sunset. Nice swimming possibility. Gets deep right away, you can use the stairs to get in or just jump. Water shoes are recommended. Some people did cliff diving as well. There’s also a nice restaurant to watch the sunset from.

Best place for sunsets.

The gardens of Augustus is a beautiful mountaintop garden which has a few statues and benches but it's main selling point is the view at the top. If you are on a tour and don't have much time I would recommend, as it's easy enough to get to and is a stunning "Instagram worthy" spot. Of course you have to pay to get in which you can do via a QR code or buying tickets. You can pay in your own currency on the app, which I thought was cool. I think £4 for a tiny garden with a view is milking it though, I think it should be done on a donation basis. You'll have people everywhere posing at every which angle so find a few good spots, take some snaps and get out of there!

€2.50 per person for entry and not sure its worth it. It is essentially 10m2 of grass with some flowers, several view points towards the faraglioni and a couple more on the other side towards the Via Krupp. Some good views of the faraglioni rocks but lots of people in the way taking photos of course. The views are just as good at the roof terrace next door and you can have a drink whilst enjoying the view! Win win

Beautiful views and definitely worth a visit to get some memorable pictures. Lots of places to sit and relax but you’re not allowed to eat there. Entry was €2.5 and definitely worth the views.

Nice and well maintained gardens. Entrance fee of €2,50 a person. Plenty of scenic viewpoints. Make sure to arrive as early as possible to prevent having to navigate the tourist groups that start arriving as early as of 09:30. They open at 09:00, and since it’s a small garden between 09:00 and 09:30 is a very nice window to see it all in all tranquility.(excluding the via Krupp)

Lovely gardens atop of Capri full of colorful flower beds running along narrow paths, shady trees and statues - a peaceful oasis with gorgeous views. The small entry fee is certainly worth it, there is a vending machine inside selling cold bottled water for 1€. From there you can take the switch back path down to Marina Piccola, it took us about 30 minutes.

After our ferry ride, we made our way to the Garden of Augustus. The views were truly magnificent, and the serene atmosphere made for a perfect escape. The vibrant colors of the flowers against the deep blue of the sea were a sight to behold. However, the experience was slightly marred by the cost of entry. It felt like a bit of a rip-off to pay €2.50 per person for such a small area. What was even more frustrating was the price of water. Having to shell out €2.50 for a tiny 300ml bottle felt like pure exploitation, especially on a hot day. It's a shame that a place of such natural beauty has to resort to such practices to squeeze every penny out of its visitors.

Lovely little garden in an amazing location. The statues and plants are very nice, and the grounds are very well maintained. The really impressive aspect is the surrounding architecture, particularly the switchback ramp leading all 100+ meters down to the sea.

Villa San Michele is where Swedish order meets Italian beauty – with a view so stunning it might cure mild existential crises. Built in the 19th century by Swedish doctor Axel Munthe (clearly a man with a flair for the dramatic), the villa boasts ancient columns, marble sphinxes, and a panorama over the Bay of Naples that could stop time. Just be careful on the terrace – it’s not vertigo or love, it’s the uphill walk catching up with you. :)

If you come to Anna Capri Italy, you must come here and check out this amazing Villa. The history is very interesting. The ruins he brought back from mainland, Italy, and Rome, as well as Pompeii are amazing to look at.

Absolutely breathtaking art and views — definitely a must-see if you have the time. There are plenty of great shops and restaurants nearby, as well as the lift to the highest point of Capri. You can take a taxi to the square and then walk about 10 minutes to the museum, or choose to walk the full 50 minutes from Capri’s main square. Be aware, though, that the walk is quite challenging — you’ll need to climb around 986 steps to reach the museum!

One of my new most favourite places on Earth. So amazing, calm and beautiful gardens with view. Very nice roof cafe. Hope to come back one day.

This is possibly the best view on Capri. Make sure to visit this amazing Villa while on Capri. Absolutely breath taking views and a beautiful garden is waiting for you.

Fantastic villa above hotel San Michelle. Beautiful gardens and views. Well- preserved historical villa.

Very nice place! My parents got this picture on their wedding day in 1967. Today I discovered that the picture shows the island of Capri and the view from the terrace of the museum. I hope to visit this island and this beautiful museum in the coming years!

Villa Lysis is breathtaking. It was worth walking 45 minutes from center of Capri. The path also is beautiful and you will see a lot of villas of local people and lots of lemon garden. When you arrive you will be surprised by the design and gardening of Villa Lysis from 1904. You can buy tickets in advance or inside of Villa.

This villa has a fantastic view to around. The garden is full of flowers and the building is open to visit. You can also go to roof of it to take photos.

What can I say! This was one of the most beautiful spots in Capri. The sea, the view, the villa and the quietness were perfect.

SCAM! Don't purchase your ticket until you are at the Villa Lysis. We purchased tickets on the 29th of September at 1 PM at the Giardini di Augusto ticket's office. We then walked to the Villa Lysis (40 minutes climbing), and when we arrived, it was closed. Another dozen of people were in the same case than us. We called the phone number, which was not able to provide me with any information. They just told us to go back (another 40 minutes walking) to the ticket's office where we bought the ticket for reimbursement. When arrived at the ticket's office, they told us they didn't knew about the closure, and they couldn't reimburse us the tickets. They advised us to send an email to a manager, Mrs Frederico. We did it, and two days after, still no answer or any excuse. Such a poor client service, and a scam on top of it. This deserves to be signaled to the local police to prevent others to be scammed like us.

You can't miss this place! The story of the villa and it's first owner was super interesting. The building and the gardens are gorgeous

Beautiful location. Great views. Interesting history. However, very long walk with lots of hill, but its very cool to see the local villas.

One of the loveliest places I’ve ever visited, even though it’s a bit far and uphill from the town. Most of the time I was completely alone in the area and it was magical. :)

For 2 euro you can see something so unique and beautiful it actually feels like a daylight robbery. It's a small church, however the painting on the tiles on the floor which covers the whole church is amazing. You can see it in detail from the ground level and also go up to see the whole picture. There was also a cute small bird nest next to the window on the upper floor. I definitely recommend seeing it in Anacapri.

If you’re visiting Capri, this Baroque church is a must see. Beautiful tile floors, the dome and the views are stunning.

A must see at Anna Capri, beautiful Monesteri with the story of Adam & Eve being warned by the Angle about the apple and temptation that is laid out on the floor of the Monesteri with tile.

Lovely baroque style church, built in 1719. It’s well worth a visit, to view the beautiful interior with its wonderful majolica floor. There’s a spiral staircase, which leads to a balcony where the floor can be viewed from above 😃😎

Wow! Just spectacular. Small little gem tucked away in a side street in Anacapri. But worthwhile if you like churches.

Very special/ unique piece of art work done the floors are just amazing

Very unique church specialy its floor

Fantastic art and history museum carefully placed within a former monestary. The art is well-curated, and the monstary building is unique and beautiful. The history exhibit features artifacts of the Roman Imperial family related to their residence on Capri, which also includes a number of statues, busts, and other art. There is a stunning seaside view in a balcony on this part of the museum.

Enjoyed the quiet serenity in this mostly empty rooms, long halls and courtyards. Church has some interesting frescoes. Also there is a museum (didn’t go) and gallery. Also great bathrooms!

The Certosa San Giacomo is a beautiful and peaceful spot in Capri, full of history and charm. The monastery dates back centuries, and walking through its courtyards, cloisters, and halls gives a real sense of the island’s past. The architecture is striking, and the grounds are well maintained, making it a relaxing place to explore away from the busier areas of Capri. There was no wait to enter when we visited, and tickets did not need to be booked in advance, which made it easy and stress free. From here, you also get some great views of the sea and surrounding landscape. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re interested in history, architecture, or just want a quiet and beautiful escape in Capri.

Bought an under 18 ticket on their website for me on a school trip for a solo visit. And it was free!! Was able to buy the tickets before our trip, and received an email with the online ticket and qr code. Update today I visited the museum/monument and it was AMAZING. It was so big and the inner garden and outer garden was so pretty. And the religous paintings were very interesting and very big! I also spotted a cat sleeping in the grass. WORTH VISITING. And it is located just beyond the street of designer shops.

I'm a little surprised about the bad reviews. I was totally stunned by the historic location, huge halls, stunning paintings and the museums exhibiting antique art. Definitely a must-see and offering a lot!

Empty halls, empty rooms, overgrown gardens. Where is all interior? Does anybody take care of this place? There is a nice view from the terrace, but still - nothing that much better than the thousands other terraces around the island. Leaving a star for the Diefenbach gallery and the (partially) preserved church.

beautiful walk and magical location. Away from Capri unbearable over tourism.

Accidentally stumbled across this charming little park while at a wedding. There must be a hundred little plaques with all sorts of philosophical quotes. We got to watch the sun disappear behind the horizon from a bench at the top of the park. If you happen to be in the area, I highly recommend you take a quick detour through the park.

Very nice view of the lighthouse and surrounding scenery.

This park is a quiet escape from the hordes of tourists on Capri. Take the walk - about 45min to the edge of the island. The Philosophical park is interesting - but the real gem lies about 100 meters from there to the absolutely breath-taking view of the bay at the end of the island. The serenity is worth the walk. There is a restaurant just across from the Philosophical park. It is convenient - but the food was only so-so - but acceptable if not a tad bit expensive - perhaps it is hard to get to? Again - a beautiful view from there.

What a delight! A big thank you to owners of this place. I passed the park on my hike and was amazed by it- a very clever and generous use of private land to give people food for thought. Gelsomina restaurant across the road has the best kitchen on the island and not overpriced like many others. Overall I am very happy I stumbled upon this gem of a place!

Visit it when the sun kisses the sea at sunset. Peace and quiet place. Only the cicadas invite the seagulls and the sea! A magical place where you can't ask yourself philosophical questions!

Park with very nice viewpoints.

Spiritually moving visit, truely a special place where few turists venture.Worth the walk.Had to get out my paints to capture the beauty.

We had a fabulous meal at this secluded restaurant on the south of the island. They provide a shuttle service from the centre of anacapri so getting there is not an issue. It boasts fantastic views of the sunset which was truly breathtaking. The service and food was second to none and you can see how they are recommended in the Michelin guide. Unable to rate the rooms as we did not stay there but if the restaurant is anything to go on then they would probably be 5 stars too. Incredible meal.

We came here during a day trip to Capri - it was a bit of a mission for us to get there and back from the dock but they do put on a shuttle to the middle of Anacapri and they can’t control the awful traffic! Food was pleasant especially the pomodores and buffalo mozzarella and service was friendly. Add on a little stroll to the viewing point just down from the restaurant

Go there it’s heavenly! The most spectacular property in Anacapri! Family run; staff is outstanding, 5 star restaurant, vineyard, 10 mile diet!! Rooms are comfortable with spectacular views, stock Carthusian products! Hiking paths of top views in Anacapri, swimming pool, free shuttle!! List of excellence goes on and on! Perfection! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing dinner spot! We had a lovely view of the sunset while eating dinner. This was by far our favorite restaurant during our stay in Capri! We didn’t stay in the Airbnb but it looked cute from the outside. We were shuttled up to the restaurant, be warned the ride is bumpy but it beats walking by foot! The staff was very attentive and helpful throughout the entire dinner. The view was absolutely stunning and made for great pics. Sad to say I forgot the name of the pasta dish I had but it was an excellent spicy garlicky spaghetti, this was the highlight of our dinner. Definitely don’t miss out of this restaurant, make sure to get a reservation in advance!

We only came here for dinner The food was delicious, the service was very good and attentive. Complimented with the incredible views the experience was overall really nice. The food was nothing extraordinary but at the same time hit the spot. Plenty of choices, and reasonably priced. The scenery and sunsets incredible. The most exciting part of the experience is the shuttle ride up the hill - it’s like the local version of an amusement park rollercoaster ride.

I went for dinner at Da Gelsomina about an hour before writing this review. First off, the restaurant has a shuttle service for those in Anacapri (which is a very enjoyable place to stay). Once you arrive, you’re greeted by great staff. I was a solo diner so I can’t comment much on the bottles of wine etc, but the glass of local (from the campania region) was great and their homemade liqueurs are a must try. Now, onto the food, the appetizers were great and really well thought out. Very classic dishes (my family is from this region) that are very well made. The escarole polpette were great and the octopus (for those who enjoy it) was fantastic. I had a whole local fish as the main. They can prepare it in several ways and generally have 2-3 types of fish to pick from. The fish was cooked to perfection and was cleaned prior to being served tableside. I didn’t have dessert and opted for the homemade liqueur instead which was fantastic. I went at 9pm so it was dark outside. The view and the sunset must be spectacular from up where the restaurant is, in case this is an important factor. I really recommend this place. Of course, given its rustic feel and very traditional cuisine, you will also be dining with a lot of Italians here on vacation - and this is how you know when a place is good.

Get yourself table and treat yourself with a beautiful sunset view for a dinner, if you are like me or else the place is open otherwise too. A beautiful sunset and everything becomes amazing. Thet provide a pick a d drop to the hotel and to points in city. Recommended for food experience.

Great walk up to Anacapri! From the bottom of the stairs, it took my partner and I 22 minutes to walk up with a few stops along the way to catch our breath and look at the view! On the way down, took about 18 minutes. We are really glad we did it. You definitely feel the burn going up and the stairs are quite deep but definitely worth it. Going down is a little harder on the knees! Definitely give it a go if you can :)

An ancient, beautiful La Scala Fenicia. Highly recommended if you have time and enough energy. This is the only walk way to go to Anacapri. It is steep and a little challenging.

Steep stairs but incredible views once you reach the top

A beautiful walk up to Anacapri from Capri. It’s definitely a workout (wear good walking/hiking shoes and take a bottle of water) and not an easy uphill walk, but the views are spectacular. Yesterday, we saw several people walking down (rather than up) the Scala Fenicia while we walked up. However, we feel that the downhill is hard on our knees and feet. 🤷‍♀️ Thus we walked up the hill from Capri, strolled around Anacapri, walked out to Da Gelsomina (but arrived before they opened), walked back to the city of Anacapri, and taxied back to Capri. A beautiful morning and a lunch well earned.

We climbed all the way up from the beach. It was a great work out.

A wonderful walk down from Anacapri. Incredible views. It's cool with a fresh breeze, and lots of shade from the trees and the mountain that blocks the sun from the south. Stairs are steep. Took us about an hour to walk from the chair lift to the docks, taking lots of photographs on the way.

Definitely, don't climb it unless you are very athletic. I took it on the way down from Axel Munthe's house and my quads and calves hurt for days! I hear there are about 800 steps. It felt like 1000! The reward is the stunning views. I wish it were better marked, though.

Here you can still see how the island has been looking since ancient times. Amazing nature, quiet, unbelievable sights and peaceful atmosphere. You simply have to walk there to believe me!

Interesting and quiet spot away from the tourists. Fantastic views and a great hike! Well worth it!

Walked down to this church after taking the chairlift up to Monte Solaro based on reviews. It was firmly locked shut. It was a long steep windy and rocky path in the middle of a hot mid-July day. A huge regret not taking the chairlift down as the chairlift up was magnificent. Don't make my mistake!

We absolutely loved this place. The view from the terrace is amazing and the people were so very welcoming. We had a great time there. Also a good place, if you like to visit the quiet and lesser crowded side of Capri Island.

Lovely walk through Capri hills to reach this monastery. A real pearl among an often pretentious and tacky island

Try the trekking path that says 'per passetiello' at the left side of this church. ; )

Amazing view from Capri Island

Outstanding Honeymoon Experience at Hotel Caesar Augustus ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional in Every Way My wife and I just returned from our honeymoon at Hotel Caesar Augustus, and it exceeded every expectation. This hotel truly understands what makes a stay memorable - it's all about the people and the experience they create. Obviously stunning and breath-taking views everywhere but a few more things to share. Staff Excellence Across Every Department The entire team deserves recognition. From the moment we arrived, every interaction was exceptional: Concierge: Incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with local recommendations Front desk: Professional, warm, and always available Housekeeping: Rooms were immaculate daily with thoughtful touches Transport & baggage: Seamless service that made arrival and departure effortless Pool & F&B staff: Attentive without being intrusive, always with genuine smiles What made the biggest impression was how the staff genuinely welcomed us getting to know their names and learning about their backgrounds. This personal connection meant the world to us and created such a warm, authentic experience. Unparalleled Setting & Ambiance The hotel's location is simply breathtaking. It's a tranquil oasis perfect for couples seeking romance and relaxation. The sunsets from the hotel's bar and restaurants are beyond incredible - truly some of the most spectacular views we've ever experienced. The pool area is stunning, and the gardens below create a serene atmosphere. We loved how the hotel maintains its peaceful ambiance with gentle reminders to respect the tranquility - it really enhances the experience for everyone. Dining Recommendations The hotel's dining is excellent, but we highly recommend asking the staff for authentic restaurant recommendations in Anacapri for at least one evening. Their local knowledge led us to some truly special meals that we'll never forget. Final Thoughts Hotel Caesar Augustus is more than just a place to stay - it's an experience. The combination of exceptional staff, breathtaking location, and attention to detail creates something truly special. Respect the peaceful atmosphere, connect with the wonderful team, and you'll have an unforgettable time. We can't wait to return!

My favorite hotel in Capri, probably one of the best views on the island. The service and location are excellent. The rooms are a bit dated, as the hotel itself is older, but I believe renovations are planned soon. My only wish is that they offered a shuttle service between Capri and Anacapri, as the hotel is located in Anacapri. That said, they were extremely helpful with our departure: during check-in and check-out, they provide a complimentary shuttle to and from the port, load all your luggage onto the ferry, and even assist with tickets. This was a huge help, as managing luggage on the ferry can be a challenge.

This place is GORGEOUS!!! We didn’t stay here, but came for dinner and drinks and you can tell it is super clean and well cared for. The staff was amazing to us and we felt very welcomed. The location is great for views but not ideal for walking to and from the main city of Capri. If view is your priority, this place is probably it!

Perfectly magical experience! From the moment we arrived on property the staff was welcoming and attentive to every detail to make our stay a lifelong memory. The hotel and grounds are exceptionally maintained. We had breakfast and dinner at the Caeser Augustus every day. There was no need to search for other dining on Capri because we knew anywhere else would be disappointing. An experience of exceptional elegance and quality.

Incredible views, exceptional service, and beautifully clean rooms right in the heart of Anacapri, away from all the crazy tourist traps. The food was out of this world, with a fantastic aperitivo to start every evening. A special shoutout to Pasquale for providing outstanding service all week you truly made our honeymoon stay unforgettable! The shuttles were always clean and made it easy to get around, with the perfect distance to all the top restaurants. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite hotels ever. The service was impeccable, the food was so fresh and delicious, and the views were stunning. Absolutely one of the best highlights of our vacation.

This hotel is the absolute best hotel we have ever stayed. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel completely at home. The room was amazing, the food was great, the view was incredible, and most importantly the staff were all so professional, polite and kind. Our story was abit exceptional because we left our camera on the boat to Capri. The moment we reported to the hotel, the front office manager Laura responded so quickly and efficiently and within a few minutes was able to contact the boat captain and found the camera. We are truly grateful and thankful to the team of Hotel Caesar Augustus for making our stay a most perfect one. Thank you Francesco the friendly hotel driver who drove us to and from the hotel, Mr David at the Conceirge who helped us with a last minute restaurant booking, the kind and helpful doorman, front desk crew and all the people at the breakfast restaurant. Much love, best wishes and best of health.. hope our paths will cross again. Mr Yeo

Really good sea side . I was able to swim in March the 9th . I was alone there at this time and the water was very clear

Nice beach with lots of seagulls. It was very crowded but the water was nice

Marina Grande beach in Capri is free to access, which is definitely a plus, but the water is full of stones and rocks, so it’s not the most comfortable place for swimming. It’s fine for a short stop, but not ideal if you’re looking for a relaxing beach day.

It's 500 m from the port It's Calm, intimate and beautiful setting with deep blue water 🌊☀️🏖️ Lots of rocks, so bring comfortable shoes. I visited here in May 2024 and we pretty much had the beach to ourselves at 11 . We have more people coming in . I sat on the rocks while the kids took a dip and wife took long walks . There are stairway down to the beach is really overgrown of trees, plants and has bamboo partition which one the other side has flowers concrete covers and beach benches which looks nice but you have to walk down a really narrow, steep stairway to enter the beach. Visually pleasing and worth visiting if you’re in Capri but be prepared for 5 hours till your return trip back as you will need to spend time in and out of the sea . It's getting crowded as I write my review Hot and cold in the same day.

Look at this area with colorful, cascading cliffside houses as a backdrop. This beach is the largest and most accessible, located right at the base of the town. It is a mix of pebbles and dark sand, and while it can get very crowded, it offers a vibrant atmosphere with many restaurants, beach clubs, and water activities.

Beautiful place to eat, walk e enjoy sunset, public restrooms and many cruises to take e enjoy your stay

Putting is into relation... For capri, this is a very nice, free beach. In global terms... Just a little spot with pebbles next to the port 🤷🏻‍♂️it's sort off nice though. Hanging out while waiting for the ferry out simply to avoid the crowds in town...

Well sign posted, concrete path for most of the way. Lots of steps, but not too hard. About half hr there including photo stops

Yes, this is a superb spot on Capri, and you shouldn't miss this! To reach it from the port, you cat take the funicular, for 2.4 € and then to take a short and easy walk. At the end of the oath you will find a terrace, which you should cross and go down on the stairs. This are the beauties of the nature and we should enjoy but also protect and preserve them, so please don't leave any rubbish behind.

Worth the 20-30 minute walk. We arrived earlier in day so very few people and so we could sit and take in the view. A cute walk to get to it, too. Returning to Capri though there were hoards of people headed to the arch which would make it not as enjoyable (for me, anyway!).

A great hike while visiting Capri. Lots of up and down as you would expect but well worth the effort as the arch is beautiful and the views of the sea breathtaking.

Don’t go down the stairs! Continue straight THRU the restaurant. Beautiful view 😍

When getting here, do not take the coast path (or not first anyway, there are 600 stept to climb). Much better to take the southern route on the way back from the Arco naturale.

One of the most beautiful spots in whole of Capri, hidden path

Good experience, the line for it was very long but went relatively quickly. I wish it had a tent or some covering because I felt like I was getting sun burnt. Other than that the view at the top is great and the experience is good. There is also a restaurant on the top I didn’t know about until I got there. Would recommend if you have two hours.

The Monte Solaro Chair Lift experience was one of the most beautiful moments of my trip to Capri. From the moment I sat on the seat and slowly ascended to the top, I felt like I was in another world, surrounded by breathtaking nature and unforgettable views. The ride to the top takes about 13 minutes, but they are minutes filled with tranquility, where you hear nothing but the sounds of birds and the gentle sea breeze. The view from the top is absolutely stunning. You can see the entire stretch of the Italian coastline, the crystal-clear blue waters, and the whole island of Capri from a magical panoramic perspective. At the summit, there is a small café where you can stop for a refreshing drink or a light snack while enjoying the view. What I also loved is that the experience is suitable for everyone—it’s calm, safe, and doesn’t require much physical effort. As for the wait time, it was very short; it only took a few minutes to get on, which made the experience even more comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend anyone visiting Capri to set aside time to go up Monte Solaro on the chair lift. It’s a unique opportunity to capture amazing photos and enjoy the beauty of the Italian landscape from a completely different perspective. For me, it was worth every minute, and I would definitely do it again on my next visit.

Amazing cable car experience! The single-seat ride takes about 13 minutes each way and offers breathtaking 360-degree views — the sea, Naples, the surrounding mountains, and the entire bay. The ascent is peaceful and scenic, with every moment revealing a new angle of this stunning region. Reaching the summit feels like standing above the world, surrounded by beauty on all sides. Definitely worth it — one of the highlights of our trip!

The Monte Solaro chairlift was a definite highlight of our trip to Capri. While the €28 cost for two people felt a bit steep, the experience itself was 100% worth it. The ride was just the right length—long enough to soak in the incredible views, but short enough to keep the little bit of a thrilling, scary feeling from becoming overwhelming. The panoramas from the top were truly amazing. A small but significant detail that stood out was the kindness of the restaurant staff at the top. They gave us coupons to use the restroom, which was a thoughtful gesture. It's a shame that after paying €28 for the ride, we would have had to spend another €2 to use a bathroom, but their action prevented that from becoming another frustrating, nickel-and-dime experience.

Monte Solaro chair lift offers great views of the island and ocean. You get breathtaking aerial view of Anacapri and the buildings. Watch for the chair rail free floating front bars that don’t lock in place. So hold on tight and enjoy the view. A cafe awaits you up top of the cliff where you can order drinks, food and tea/coffee. You pay for toilettte facility. There’s a boutique for shopping but the highlight is the view from the cliff and a small garden. The rock formations in the ocean offer a spectacular view from top and you can also see Ischia and Naples at a distance. This is a must do activity in Anacapri.

Must visit when on Capri! We had one of the best views in our lives here, sea color was fantastic. Chair lift is an experience in itself, not dangerous and with amazing 360 degree views all the way up and down. Don’t be afraid! It closes early so plan in advance, but it’s really really worth it.

Absolutely spectacular views. Google maps has wrong times on it, but the website is correct. Open later on Saturdays we went up about 6pm… hardly anyone on it or up at the top. There’s a lovely bar with fantastic views… it’s not open for sunset but you still get a great haze. Honestly the best thing I’ve done in the entire Amalfi coast & for €14 rtn it’s a bargin.

Belvedere Tragara is one of Capri’s most stunning viewpoints, offering a panoramic vista of the iconic Faraglioni rock formations and the deep blue Tyrrhenian Sea. Located at the end of a picturesque walkway lined with elegant villas and lush greenery, it exudes timeless charm. A peaceful spot away from the crowds, perfect for photography or quiet reflection. A must-visit for anyone exploring Capri’s natural beauty.

Magical views - must stop by when in Capri - just before the stairs to the beach clubs

Beautiful,Amazing,very high up,but well worth it! The scenery,looking down to the azure blue water...boat look so tiny! I think a few feet more up,you'd be touching outer space!!

Really breathtaking views!!! Don't miss this magical place!!!! There are benches for rest. About 30 minutes walk from the port or 15 minutes from the center.

Definitely worth the walk over here once you're in Capri Town. Even in high season (but early in the day) it was a beautiful walk and not too crowded. Amazing views of Marina Piccola and Faraglioni.

Definitely worth a visit. There is a reasonably well marked path from the centre of Capri to the Belvedere Tragara and then you can also choose to walk onwards to the Arco Naturale before heading back to town. The whole walk incl. the Arco took us around 1.5h with a lunch break.

Lovely walk through the nicer part of town, down a flat and easily managed walkway. Several views and photo opportunities of the beautiful scenery as you go, no need to rush here..... but when you do get here.... wow.

Great with kids. There is a public beach but also a private part where you can rent a beach bed (2 for 80 euros). Come early because they are quickly booked.

Tiny pebble beach in a beautiful location. To get to the water, you have to carefully walk between all the towels and personal possesions, it's very crowded. For that reason, I sat at a table with the best view in a nearby restaurant while my grandson enjoyed jumping from the rocks and swimming in the warm crystal clear water.

the most beautiful beach i’ve ever been to. bus service to the main town available, or u can walk down from capri town. completely free as well!

Marina Piccola is a smaller beach oasis on Capri, where you can enjoy the sea without the crowds from Marina Grande. The beach is nice, the water crystal clear, and if you’re lucky, you might spot some local fishermen lazily drifting on their boats. It kinda feels like a secret hideout where even Leonardo DiCaprio might take a break from filming. The only catch? Parking and access – it’s Capri, so patience is key. :)

I didn't like the free beach. The photos were misleading and I thought there would be more space. The beach bar next to it charged 150 euro per bed and it was empty pretty much. We took a dip in the water and we went back to town center for lunch by the bus.

it's a tiny beach that is full of boats and people. there's hardly any space to walk and the swimming area is very small. feels like a huge waste of time to come here if you're looking for a nice beach

Great view, easy to access, some opportunity to cliff jump(small jumps) and you can wash the salt off your body with the well that’s near

Amazing experience with Capri Precious Boat Tours. Everything about the experience was exceptional and memorable. From the ease of booking, to the communication with the team leading up to the day, to the boat tour itself - this was one of the best parts of a very memorable trip. My family of four (two adults and two teens) spent half the day with our Captain Giuseppe who was a kind, professional and knowledgeable. The day was perfect, the scenery beautiful and the experience world class. Cannot imagine a better boat tour.

My husband and I booked the 3 hour private boat tour of Capri. This was the highlight of our Mediterranean cruise vacation!! We celebrated my husband’s 30th birthday while on the beautiful island of Capri. Our boat captain Stefano made it a memorable experience by taking us wherever we wanted around the island during our 3 hours (including 2 different swimming spots, although we did not do the Blue Grotto as it was an hour wait to get in), offered to take as many pictures of us as we wanted, and provided prosecco, homemade limoncello, and a killer playlist! The 3 hour tour in the morning offered us enough time in the afternoon to have a nice sit-down lunch in Anacapri, do the chairlift, and shop a little bit in Marina Grande. Due to time constraints of needing to be back in Naples to catch our cruise ship, there was not enough time to go into Capri town. We certainly plan to return to this beautiful island for another Capri Precious boat tour and to see the other attractions we missed!

This was 10/10 experience!! We did a 4 hour private boat tour in Capri. It’s so worth the $$$. It’s beautiful and the tour guide explains history of the grottos. I recommend getting sandwiches and bottle of wine at Aldo’s (yellow awning) when you get off the ferry. Your boat will pick you up and you are good to go!

We had an incredible experience with Capri Precious! From start to finish, the service was top notch. Antonio, our guide, was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout the day. I was a bit nervous about jumping into open water, but Antonio went out of his way to keep the boat close and make sure I felt safe and comfortable. It meant a lot and really allowed me to enjoy the experience fully. Communication with Alessandro before and after the trip was smooth and easy. The boat was stocked with drinks and towels, which was a nice touch. We brought our own lunch, but I believe they can arrange that too, along with bottles of wine if you’d like to make it extra special. My friends and I were thrilled with the tour. We couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. I’m already looking forward to booking another tour with them!

Our private boat tour with Capri Precious was the highlight of our honeymoon! Nico was FANTASTIC! We were out on the water for almost 3 hours, got to stop and swim, and we visited several grottos and caves. We would recommend this activity to anyone and everyone! We can’t wait to come back someday.

Amazing experience. Everything was really well planned since the beginning. The communication was perfect and the boat tour worth every penny. Francesco , the captain was very helpful and told us everything about the Capri Island. Took a lot of pictures of us , always with a smile in his face.

Fantastic way to spend time in Capri. Seeing the island from the water provides a different perspective and the folks at Capri Precious were great. We saw all the highlights and enjoyed a swim and time in the sun.

Fun time if you’re willing to spend $$$, but do your research before. We made the mistake of not researching enough and were slapped with a bill for €60/drink…and all we ordered was aperol spritz.

We had to pay 80 euro entrance and when we got in the vibe was good and the band was doing their thing, what they don’t tell you is that to dance on the dancefloor infront of the stage you have to pay an extra 300 euro otherwise you just stand behind a fence guarded by the guards to look at the people who paid dancing, so it’s more of a theater vibe looking at the party if your not willing to spend 380 euro per person…. Such a scam honestly, shame on these people running it!

​For the price paid, the expectations were too high. In reality, the only goal there was to take everything from your pockets. The place was over, overcrowded to 3 times its capacity. I'm not talking about the prices that are generally unreasonable in Capri, unjustifiable, 5-star prices in a no-star environment, and with arrogant service. Maybe it's not their fault and these comments don't matter because the chances of the clientele returning are very small. So if you are thinking and have an extra 500-1000 euros in your pocket, go see a concert of your favorite band, wherever and whoever it may be.

To be completely honest, the prices here are extremely, extremely high. We each had two cocktails, and the total bill came to €240 — that’s about €40 per drink. Normally, I’d never say this, but in this case: it was worth it. If you’ve read any of my other reviews from Capri, you’ll know that we, unfortunately, had mostly bad experiences everywhere else. I even hesitated to leave reviews at all, because I felt strange writing almost only negative ones. But the truth matters — people deserve to know what to really expect. That said, this place completely changed the tone of our trip. Despite the price, if you can afford it — go. Honestly, just go. The concept is unique, the energy unforgettable. And while the fact that so many celebrities have visited is fun to know, that’s actually the least important thing about it. We didn’t go because of that — in fact, it was simply one of the few places still open that night. But it ended up being the highlight of our weekend. From the moment we walked in, people were already dancing and singing, and the place had only been open for about half an hour. I’ve never seen anything like it — such a lively, joyful atmosphere right from the start. The live band was incredible — they played a mix of English songs and traditional Neapolitan music. Normally I’m not a big fan of music in languages I don’t understand, but you could feel the emotion in every word, even without knowing what was being said. The musicians were so talented and genuine. The staff were amazing, and even the other guests were warm, friendly, and kind — something we sadly didn’t experience much elsewhere in Capri. After a weekend full of disappointments, these few hours completely made up for it all. I have nothing bad to say — not even about the price. Because this night was truly memorable. If you’re in Capri — go to Anema e Core. It’s not just a place; it’s an experience. ❤️ 1 note though - we went end of season (October) on a Sunday evening

You know the scammers in Rome outside of the Coliseum?- this is Capri’s version you need to avoid as a tourist! In Capri for summer vacation, stopped here because it’s the ONLY club in capri, told us it’s $80 euro per entry+a you're required to buy a “drink” ($50-60 basic shot or cocktail), also an extra $300 euro to dance on the “dance floor” with your $60 aperol spritz. If you are a geriatric billionaire on vacation with $500 spare change for an hour of weird vibes and overpriced drinks this is the place for you! If you are under 40 and want to drink and listen to music for less than you spent on a hotel for a night per person, you are out of luck (what is annoying is that this seems predatory based on supply & demand, there are literally no other “night-clubs” in Capri, literally a single other basic club with slightly expensive pricing on this island would probably kill.) We got pretty terrible hospitality at many places here anyways but since most people are coming here to relax and enjoy nights out- it’s best to plan around the fact that night life is pretty non existent here & bonus if you are American and also not White, you will get the same level of hospitality as your local 7 eleven (probably worse). If I could rate this 0/5 stars I would!

Welcome to Capri’s most expensive zoo — except you’re the exhibit. We thought we were buying into a fun night out for €80, but little did we know the real show was watching rich people dance while the rest of us stood behind a barrier like unpaid extras in a bad music video. Want to actually dance? That’ll be another €300 please — because apparently moving your legs in front of a stage counts as a luxury upgrade in Capri. Otherwise, you just stand there like you’re at some sort of nightclub safari, observing the VIPs in their natural habitat while security guards glare at you for even thinking about stepping forward. So unless your dream night out involves paying to be treated like a second-class citizen at a fake concert you’re not allowed to join, save your money and grab a bottle of limoncello instead. Way more fun, and no fences involved. Shameful, hilarious, and honestly deserves a Netflix documentary called Clubbing: The Scam Edition. On a serious note. Disgusting place.

Another excellent evening of great music and super atmosphere. Thank you to the team and Paola for making the booking process seamless. 👍

The water was very dirty. The only positive was that we came late in the day so they let us in for free, but I definitely wouldn't pay ANYTHING for this dirty beach, especially when there's a much nicer and free one a few meters away.

Beautiful beach, we paid 35€/person for the entrance and for a sunbed. They take you there by boat, and bring you back to the main port, it's included in the entrance fee. It's not cheap but I think it's worth it. We had a great time, I recommend!

Unfortunately the water was indeed dirty and the rocks hurt your feet but the food was excellent. One option could be getting sunbeds at le ondine beach club as the sea is a lot clearer and the beach is sandy there but come to Bagni for lunch. They have a boat that takes you to the restaurant right by the marina so it’s pretty easy

Coming every summer to capri, all the great places disappear and down to tourists traps and unreasonable prices, but that one is really hit the sky. Good beach club, great and attentive service, a m a z i n g restaurant with the best food on capri (i’ve been in many places). This is really hot spot!

Get a reservation beforehand during the summer season! There is a free boat ride there but once you get get there it really is quite expensive, bring your own towel if possible. You can order food from the restaurant without a reservation if you have a sunbed.

Is one of the best beaches of Capri, is smaller than the rest, but os does not get crowded. You still have to pay for the chairs and everything but if you are going to stay the whole day it’s definetely worth it!. And the beach is just breathtaking, crystal clear water.

My favourite beach in all of Capri! Wonderful public pebble beach - can be reached by boat form Marina Grande or by walking (about 20 mins from marina). There is a beach club with a bar and restaurant if you wish, but I would recommend the free beach - it has a lovely shallow bay for paddling and you can swim out to the deep if you want to. Can be crowded so make sure you arrive early to grab a spot.

Beautiful place must visit while in Capri highly recommend to walk from the cable car past shops in keep going until you reach a point where you can go down take a stairs to the beach very short walk down the stairs and you'll be able to see the beautiful and enjoy refreshing swim

Tiny, clean beach. Loved trying to climb the rocks lol. Arrive by bus. €4 Roundtrip from Capri main town. Warm & clear water!

Took a Ferry from Naples to Capri. The ride itself was relaxing and being surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea is lovely. After landing, the surrounding businesses were interesting while I was waiting for the bus to Saracen Tower Beach. The ride on the bus was an experience in itself. The dialects noticeable as locals socialized. The amenities at the beach were sparse, but I came for the swim. I was not disappointed. The water is cool, and if you dive down, cold. But the salt content in the Mediterranean Sea is much higher than the Atlantic or Pacific oceans. Without moving my arms or legs, my full head floats above the water. No effort at all to stay out and relax. The ease of swimming is intoxicating and time passes too quickly as I swam the shoreline. What a wonderful day.

Awesome look out spot that not many other people visit. Great way to escape all the other tourists in town and wonder views of the cliffs and the Med.

Possibly the only free of charge beach on Capri island, not much, but you don't need to pay

Amazing

Beautiful clear water - very small and not much space though. Still worth coming down to spend a day while in Capri

Such a wonderful day. Good knowledge, very kind, laid back and wants you to have the best time on his boat. The locations were great, he books the lunch for you, and the areas you visit are just beautiful. I definitely recommend Antonio if you want a wonderful boat tour. We did the Capri tour, private 7 hour tour and my family loved it.

We were 4 people on the boat and it was fantastic. The communication beforehand was really well arranged. Antonio told a lot, had humor and was an experienced captain. There were drinks on board and beach towels for sunbathing and swimming. I had left some things on the boat but got all the cooperation to have them returned. Chapeau! We enjoyed it and I recommend this company to everyone!

Such an incredible sunset tour with Antonio for our honeymoon. He took us around the entire Capri island and showed us all we wanted to see. His vibes are unmatched and can not recommend him enough. We hope to see you again Antonio!

Antonio was wonderful! The tour was very informative and we were guided to all of the prettiest places around the island. But the most AMAZING thing about Antonio is the way the customer is treated with such care. I actually dropped my new iPhone into the water at the dock just as we were preparing to leave. So traumatic! But Antonio (who is a certified scuba diver) actually dove into the 6-meter-deep water to retrieve it for me. What a kind man!

Today we made a tour around Capri with Antonio. He is an experienced captain, very nice person, it is easy too interact with him, Speaks english, but for me it was an excellent experience that he could help me and improve my poor italian. About the tour: contact and reservation went smoothly. During the tour he shared many information about the island and also historical aspects. Towels and cold drinks (beer coke water) were available on the boat. We had chance to swim in piccola marina. All in all we felt being in a luxury trip. Grazie Antonio! I recommend his services.

My wife and I met Antonio at the port in Capri while on our honeymoon and while you’re never sure what you’re going to get when you meet in those circumstances we were very pleased with our experience. Antonio was a knowledgeable and pleasant guide. The boat was clean and exactly the style we were looking for. We would absolutely recommend him for his boat tours of Capri.

Antonio was a great captain and guide. We had the boat for 3 hours enjoyed seeing and swimming through the many caves he took us to. Cliff jumping was amazing too!

Fun part of capri

(Translated by Google) Unhappy, sad, disappointing... and I contribute to all of this... a real sheep. We are truly parasites on this planet and leave no chance of any survival. Magnificent island but which loses all its charm once the flood of little ants arrives in the morning to trample everything and leaves in the evening with this very selfish and superficial victory: "I've been there". Well, well done team. Without counting on other winners like Instagram and its friends. And of course the island tries to limit all that by knocking out the tourists with salty notes in any restaurant in this little rock. Apart from shops and restaurants/bars, there is not much interest in coming to the area except if you are looking for "have you seen me". (Original) Malheureux, triste,decevant... et je contribue à tout ça... un vrai mouton. Nous sommes vraiment des parasites sur cette planète et ne laissons aucune chance à une quelconque survie.

Bah bravo l'équipe. Sans compter sur les autres gagnants comme instagram et ses compères. Et bien sûr, l'île essaye de limitée tout ça en assomant les touristes à coups de notes salées dans n'importe quel resto de ce petit cailloux. A part des boutiques et des resto/ bars, il n'y a pas beaucoup d'intérêt à venir dans le coin à part si vous recherchez le "m'as tu vu".
