History
Capri has served as a retreat since Roman times — Emperor Tiberius established several imperial villas here — and later attracted artists and expatriates including Axel Munthe, whose villa is now a museum.
Conservation
High visitor numbers strain paths and fragile vegetation; stick to marked routes, avoid trampling cliffside flora and support local businesses that practice responsible tourism.

Comfortable, grippy shoes
Streets are cobbled and steep in places — closed-toe shoes with good tread make cobble and stair sections far easier.
Sun and hydration
Bring a water bottle and sun protection; shade is limited on exposed terraces and chairlift areas.
Plan for sea-dependent options
Boat visits to the Blue Grotto depend on sea/weather conditions — have a backup plan for viewpoints or museums.
Carry small cash
Small cafés, entry fees to minor sites, and local vendors may prefer cash for quick transactions.
Sturdy walking shoes
Essential for cobbled streets, stairs and short, uneven paths.
Reusable water bottle
Keeps you hydrated during exposed terrace walks and chairlift rides.

Light windbreaker or layered jacket
Useful for breezy viewpoints and cooler mornings, especially on higher exposures.
