You step off the ferry onto Marina Grande and the island announces itself in salt and stone — sheer cliffs punctuated by the three Faraglioni rocks, sea-slick caves yawning at the coastline. A small boat eases away from the harbor and the island begins to read like a coastal atlas: grottoes that change color with the light, a natural arch carved by waves, and terraced gardens clinging to limestone.

Conservation
Posidonia seagrass meadows around Capri are ecologically vital; avoid anchoring on seagrass, take all litter off the island, and follow your guide’s directions to reduce impact.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen and hat
Sun reflects strongly off the sea and white limestone; apply sunscreen before boarding and reapply after boat spray.
Wear grippy walking shoes
Expect uneven cobblestones in Anacapri and slippery boat ramps—light hikers or sturdy sneakers work best.
Check grotto accessibility before boarding
Blue and other grottoes open only in calm seas; ask your guide on the morning of the tour to set expectations.
Start early for softer light and fewer crowds
Morning departures reduce queueing at small attractions and offer calmer sea conditions for grotto visits.
Light waterproof jacket
Wind off the sea can be sharp; a lightweight shell blocks spray and cool breezes.
