A salt-snap breeze hits your face as the hydrofoil slices away from the Amalfi Coast and the silhouette of Capri grows larger—a white island against the Mediterranean blue. You step onto Marina Grande, where fishermen's boats bob like restless punctuation, and a local guide with a hand-lettered sign ushers you toward a sequence of small-boat transports that will thread you through sea caves and past the Faraglioni stacks.

History
Capri was a favored Roman retreat—Emperor Tiberius built Villa Jovis on the island’s eastern heights—and many of the island’s coastal features were used and referenced since antiquity.
Conservation
Capri’s marine meadows (Posidonia) and fragile coastlines are vulnerable to anchoring and overcrowding; stick to marked paths, avoid litter, and prefer licensed boat operators to reduce impact.
