A morning ferry cleaves the Tyrrhenian like a deliberate line on a watercolor map, and Capri appears — cliffs rising, villas clinging, the sea flashing an invitation. From Sorrento the boat ride is part of the day: wind on your face, the Sorrentine coastline shrinking behind you while Capri’s twin towns prepare their welcome.

Blue Grotto timing
Entry depends on sea conditions; schedule flexibility helps—plan to be patient and accept a grotto alternative (boat circumnavigation) if seas are rough.
Footwear for cobbles
Bring shoes with good traction—Capri and Anacapri are full of steep steps and uneven stone streets.
Sun and heat management
Bring sunscreen, a hat, and a refillable water bottle; shade is limited on seaside terraces and in busy piazzas.
Cash for small vendors
Carry small bills and coins for toilets, souvenirs, and quick snacks; some boutique shops are card-only but many cafés prefer cash.
Comfortable walking shoes
Grippy, supportive shoes handle cobbles, stairs, and short trails around viewpoints.
Sun protection (hat & sunscreen)
Direct sun on terraces and boat decks can be intense—protect skin and eyes.
