Capri Holidays

Holidays in Capri combine an air of elegance with breathtaking natural beauty. Set on the southern edge of the Gulf of Naples, the iconic island has attracted travellers seeking an escape in a stunning island setting since the Roman era. The capital of the island, Capri town, offers visitors streets lined with everything from designer boutiques to artisan shops crafting handmade leather sandals - a real “go-to” destination for royalty and celebrities alike. 

Once home to Caesar Augustus and his successor Tiberius, who built the iconic villas still open to visitors today, Capri boasts a rich history with roots dating back all the way to the Palaeolithic era. You’ll feel the timeless allure as you stroll the scenic streets, dining on traditional island dishes and soaking up the atmosphere at the bustling Piazzetta. Get away from the crowds in Anacapri located in the island’s cool hills, where you’ll find an authentic taste of island life and quiet vineyard-clad landscapes. For those seeking action during their stay, the famous Blue Grotto sea cave and Mount Solaro’s panoramic views offer an exhilarating dose of Capri’s natural wonders.

Capri Town
Capri Town is the first thing visitors see when they arrive on the island. From a deceptively small port, the town of Capri climbs upwards into the island’s scenic foothills.

Things to do in Capri

The island of Capri is deceptively small, but what it lacks in size, it certainly makes up for in stunning attractions. The major activity is quite simply relaxing and soaking up the Italian sunshine, whether it be from one of several rocky beaches or sipping a coffee on La Piazzetta. Shopping is also a major activity for visiting celebrities and tourists alike, where the winding streets are home to several boutiques and artisan shops. 

Holidays in Capri offer more subdued nightlife, with a selection of chic bars and late night cafes where you can unwind with a glass of Italian wine or sample the local limoncello. Some venues have live traditional music in the evenings to complement the historic surroundings. 

Explore the region further on our Sorrento and Capri Multi Centre holiday, where you can delve into the fascinating cultural sights of Sorrento, transverse the stunning Amalfi Coast, and visit Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii before finishing with a relaxing few days on the elegant island.

Flight Information

The closest airport to Capri is Naples (NAP), which is approximately 2 hours 15 minutes from Capri via ferry (we recommend that flights into Naples arrive no later than 4pm and depart no earlier than 11.30am in order to catch the first/last ferry).

Direct flights to Naples airport (NAP) are available from Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, London Gatwick, London Luton, London Stansted, Manchester and Newcastle and take approximately 2 hours 45 minutes.

When to go

Capri's season runs from April to October. Summer (June to August) is the busiest time for the island but even during these months the evenings are relatively quiet as most people are only visiting for the day. April, May, September and October are the best months to travel to avoid the worst of the crowds and still enjoy good weather and warm sea temperatures.

Visa Information

At the current time, British citizens do not require a visa to visit Italy.

Tipping

Whilst tipping isn’t embedded into Italian culture it is always appreciated as an acknowledgement of good service. Nowadays people generally round up a bill in a bar or cafe and leave 5-10% extra on a restaurant bill. Taxi bills are usually also rounded up.
 
On guided tours/excursions, it is customary to leave a token of appreciation for the driver and guide.
 
On small group escorted tours, it is customary to leave a token of appreciation for the driver and guide at the end of the tour.

Introduction to languages

The official language of Italy is Italian. English is widely spoken too, so getting by is easy.

Take the chairlift (called the 'Seggiovia' by locals) from Anacapri up to Monte Solaro. On a clear day the views over the Bay of Naples are indescribable.
