You step off the minibus at the port as the gulf opens—a low, brassy hum of ferries and gulls—and the hydrofoil cuts the Sorrentine coastline into a waking collage of cliffs and villas.

History
Capri was a favored Roman imperial retreat—emperors like Tiberius built palaces here—and the island’s archaeological sites reflect centuries of settlement and maritime trade.
Conservation
High visitor numbers and coastal erosion pressure Capri’s fragile habitats; stay on marked paths, avoid removing flora or shells, and minimize single-use plastics.

Arrive early at pickup
Be ready at the agreed pickup point—minibus transfers are timed to the ferry schedule and delays can mean missing the crossing.
Bring motion-sickness meds
The hydrofoil and tender rides can be choppy; take anti-nausea medication beforehand if you’re sensitive to waves.
Wear sturdy shoes
Streets on Capri are uneven and steep; closed-toe shoes with good grip make walking and short hikes safer.
Carry cash
Smaller cafés, craft stalls and some chairlifts accept cash only—have euros on hand for convenience.
Sturdy walking shoes
Support and grip for cobbled lanes, steps and uneven trails around Capri.
Sun protection (hat, sunscreen)
Strong Mediterranean sun and reflective sea increase UV exposure during boat and shore time.

Refillable water bottle
