Capri was a favored retreat for Roman elites—emperors like Tiberius established villas here in the 1st century CE—and the island’s ancient remains still surface in grottoes and ruins.
Conservation
Capri and surrounding waters are sensitive to anchoring and litter; favor operators who minimize moorings in seagrass areas and use reef-safe products.

Arrive Early for Pickup
Confirm your hotel pickup or meeting point via WhatsApp/email and be ready 10–15 minutes before the scheduled time to avoid delays.
Bring Swim and Snorkel Gear
Pack a swimsuit and a lightweight snorkel mask—swim stops offer clear water but limited on-board storage for gear.
Protect from Strong Sun
Use reef-safe sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and UV-rated sunglasses—reflected light off the sea intensifies exposure.
Carry Small Cash for Island Purchases
Bring euros for transfers to the Blue Grotto, quick bites, or artisan shops—card terminals are not universal in small stores.
