History
Capri was an elite Roman retreat — Emperor Tiberius built villas here — and later attracted 19th–20th century artists and writers who shaped its modern cultural identity.
Conservation
Posidonia seagrass beds around Capri are ecologically important; avoid anchoring in marked areas, limit single‑use plastics and follow local waste rules to reduce visitor impact.

Bring layered sun protection
The sun on the open water is intense; pack sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses for the crossing and island viewpoints.
Wear stable shoes
Streets in Capri and Anacapri are steep and uneven — low‑profile hikers or sturdy sneakers make walking and stair descents safer.
Plan for the Blue Grotto
If the Blue Grotto visit is a must, arrive early or allow extra time during your free period—entry is weather‑dependent and often requires a separate small‑boat transfer.
Carry cash and ID
Small shops and some boat lanes prefer cash; bring a valid ID or passport as required for boarding and checkpoints.
Sunscreen and sunglasses
Protects skin and eyes on the exposed deck and sunlit viewpoints.
summer
Comfortable walking shoes
Grippy, closed shoes make stairs and rocky footpaths far easier.
Light waterproof layer
Even in summer sea spray and evening breezes can be cool; a small windbreaker stows easily.
spring
Small daypack
