Tour of the Island of Capri, Campania Region, Italy
Capri is an Italian island in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the Sorrentine Peninsula, on the south side of the Gulf of Naples, in the Campania region of Southern Italy. It has been a resort since the time of the Roman Republic.
Features of the island are the Marina Piccola (the little harbour), the Belvedere of Tragara, which is a high panoramic promenade lined with villas, the limestone crags called sea stacks that project above the sea (the Faraglioni), Anacapri, the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra), and the ruins of the Imperial Roman villas.
Capri is part of the region of Campania, Province of Naples. The town of Capri is the main centre of population on the island. It has two harbours, Marina Piccola and Marina Grande (the main port of the island). The separate comune of Anacapri is located high on the hills to the west.
Capri is a tourist destination for both Italians and foreigners. In the 1950s, Capri became a popular destination. In summer, the island is heavily visited by tourists, especially by day trippers from Naples and Sorrento.
Capri is served by ferry or hydrofoil from Naples, Sorrento, Positano or Amalfi as well as by boat services from the ports of the Bay of Naples and the Sorrentine Peninsula. Naples is served by two ports, Mergellina and Molo Beverello. Molo Beverello has a higher frequency of departures and a larger selection of boats than Mergellina.
From Naples, the ferry takes 80 minutes, and the hydrofoil 40 minutes. From Sorrento, the ferry takes about 40 minutes while the hydrofoil takes about 20 minutes.
Boats call at Marina Grande, from where a funicular goes up to Capri town. From Anacapri town, a chair lift takes passengers to the top of the island.

Capri Tour - What to see on a 1 day trip
Capri - What we saw on our day trip from Sorrento! Stunning views & more.

And you can see my Herculaneum tour video here (7m56s):
Here's the Capri video narrative:
Capri is a small Italian island in the Bay of Naples, about 5 kilometers from the mainland.
We visited on a day trip in April, arriving via a fast jet ferry from Sorrento and avoiding the peak summer season, when the island can be overrun with tourists.
Capri is also easy to reach by ferry from Naples.
We arrived at Capri’s main port, Marina Grande, which is on the north coast.
From here you can take boat trips, for example to the Blue Grotto, which is a flooded sea-cave, or you can take a boat to the south coast to see the Faraglioni Rocks.
However, with limited time we decided to make for Capri town, then on to to Anacapri and Monte Solaro.
To get from Marina Grande up to Capri town we took the funicular railway which connects the harbour to the Piazzetta, the town’s main square.
Capri’s two main centres, Capri town and its uphill rival Anacapri, are almost entirely given over to tourism and prices can be high.
Capri is a world-famous beauty spot and it’s also a summer favourite of holidaying VIPs.
The Piazzetta is full of fashionable bars and it’s well worth stopping for an espresso. You might even see one of those VIPs!
The square is dominated by a free-standing clock tower.
Note the tiled clock face.
Capri is well known for its maiolica tiles.
Here they can be seen forming a map of the island.
We boarded a crowded bus to Anacapri and explored the island’s second town.
Walking along Via Giuseppe Orlandi, we saw the Casa Rossa, a brightly coloured house built in the late 1800s by an American colonel. It’s now a museum.
Continuing along this road, we reached Piazza San Nicola and the Church of San Michele, built in Italian baroque style at the turn of the 18th century.
Built on an octagonal Greek cross plan, the church is famous for its maiolica floor decoration depicting the expulsion of Adam and Eve. It was completed in 1761.
For an impressive view of the entire floor, you can climb the spiral staircase to the organ loft and look out over the church from above.
More maiolica tiles can be seen nearby, decorating the benches in Piazza Armando Diaz.
The Monte Solaro chairlift is also in Anacapri, and it reaches the top of the 589 meters high mountain within minutes.
From the summit there are picturesque views over the island and across the Bay of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno.
There’s also a great view of the Faraglioni Rocks from here.
These three spurs of rock rise from the sea within meters of the coast and are one of the favourite destinations for boat tours of the island’s coast.
We hiked down from the summit back to Anacapri. The path is quite uneven in places but the walk is well worth it for the changing panoramas.
On the way down, you can see a series of small bronze plaques. Each represents a stop on the Via Crucis, or Way of the Cross.
We headed back to Marina Grande and caught the last ferry back to Sorrento, which left late afternoon.
You can see plenty of this beautiful island in a few hours, but don’t expect to fit everything in.
Next time, maybe we’ll get to the Blue Grotto!

CAPRI, ITALY BOAT TOUR-Featuring The Blue Grotto!
The island of Capri, Italy is a short 30 minute ferry ride from Sorrento. It's one of the most beautiful and famous islands in the world due to it's stunning topography-cliffs that fall into turquoise waters, its many grottoes (caves), its marinas filled with yachts, and of course, the famous Blue Grotto. It's also a great place to people watch and take in the spectacular views. We took a boat ride around the island and my favorites were the Green Grotto (7:56) and the Blue Grotto (9:14)!

Capri, an island in Italy’s Bay of Naples, is famed for its rugged landscape, upscale hotels, and shopping, from designer fashions to limoncello and handmade leather sandals.
One of its best-known natural sites is the Blue Grotto, a dark cavern where the sea glows electric blue, the result of sunlight passing through an underwater cave. In summer, Capri's dramatic, cove-studded coastline draws many yachts.

Male 1: Welcome to Capri. I love Capri because I can still see the same beauty that has been here for literally millions of years. When I have clients, I get to relive the wonderment of seeing Capri for the first time.
Male 2: I looked at the public transportation here and the impression that I got was that it is very crowded at times. Having a private bus here made a lot of difference, and that is one of the best parts of the tour.
Male 1: I love this tour because it shows you both towns, Capri and Anacapri, and you get a little free time to look at the shops and a few of the sites. On the left, we have the patron saint of our town of Anacapri, Saint Anthony, San Antonio de Padua. Also, you have an opportunity to taste the wonderful limoncello and smell the beautiful Carthusia perfume, which are both local products of the island. The limoncello, it's made out of local lemons, the femminello lemon, which gives us three crops a year. Cheers everybody. Let's have a look at how the perfume is produced. What I love about this tour is that you have the option of going by boat to visit the world famous Blue Grotto.
Female: I learned a tremendous amount, and I'll be able to take that home with me and remember it and cherish it forever.
Male 2: I don't think there's any other rating to be given there, definitely a five, yeah.

An amazing experience in Capri!
Capri ITALY
Let's check out the iconic Island of Capri in southern Italy! Off the coast of the Campania region, Capri is an island of tourism, recreation, and pleasure. First ruled by the Emperor Augustus and later his successor Tiberius, Capri has been a setting for fun and relaxation for thousands of years. The island is about an hour trip by boat from the gulf of Naples and is accessible by ferry or hydrofoil. We take a taxi tour around the island to check out panoramic views, famous million dollar homes, luxury and local shops, and the relaxing and tranquil Gardens of Augustus.

Onboard the ferry from Sorrento to the Island of Capri, Campania Region, Italy
To get to the Island of Capri, you can either go from Naples or go from Sorrento. Both are a great choice for those wishing to combine their visit to Capri with a tour of the Amalfi Coast or a trip to Pompei and Herculaneum.
During the summer season boats also depart from Positano, Amalfi, Salerno and Ischia, although passengers should be aware that the service is less frequent compared with those operated from Naples and Sorrento.
The times of ferries and hydrofoils sailing to Capri are subject to variation, and travellers are well advised to consult the web sites or contact the navigation companies or Capri tourist office prior to departure to confirm departure times.

Naples strikes visitors for its liveliness, for the splendid colors of the sea, but also for its history resurfacing from every corner of the old town center, the biggest in Europe, an authentic museum under the open sky.
For the exceptionality of the finds and their good state of preservation, Unesco protects the Archeological Area of Pompei and Ercolano, which were totally destroyed by the Vesuvius in 79 A.D. A unique view is offered by the Amalfi Coast: bays, coves and picturesque small towns which miraculously cling to the mountain.
