Capri is a stunning destination in southern Italy and an easy getaway from Naples. When you’re there, you can lose yourself wandering through the old town streets, climb to the highest points for breathtaking views, or explore the famous blue waters of its renowned cave. If you’re planning a day trip to this amazing island, here’s everything you need to know:

– **Island Boat Tour:** This two-hour boat tour is a must-do on the island. Departing from Marina Grande, where ferries from Naples arrive, it costs €18 per person. The tour offers views of Capri’s beautiful bays and coves from the sea, and most tours include a stop at the iconic ‘Grotta Azzurra’ (the Blue Grotto), although the entry ticket to the cave is not included.

– **Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto):** This magical sea cave, measuring 25 meters in width and 60 meters in depth, has water so vividly blue it seems unreal. Entering the cave requires caution, as the entrance is only one meter high, so you need to lie down in the boat. The visit lasts about 5 minutes, and the optimal time to see it is between noon and 2 PM. The entry fee is €13 per person.

– **Chairlift to Monte Solaro:** Taking a chairlift to Monte Solaro, which stands at 589 meters, offers some of the best views of Capri, including the famous ‘Faraglioni’ rocks. The ride lasts 12 minutes, giving you a feeling of flying! A return ticket costs €10, and a one-way ticket is €7, with operations running from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM.

– **Old Town:** Capri’s old town is charming and stylish, a true highlight! To reach it from Marina Grande, the funicular ride costs €1.80. The famous ‘Piazzetta’ (little square) is the island’s bustling center. Here, you’ll find the church of Santo Stefano, numerous restaurants, and exclusive boutiques. Be sure to explore the main streets: Via Vittorio Emanuele, Via Croce, and Via Camelle.

If you can extend your visit, staying overnight on the island is highly recommended. Capri at night has a unique, romantic atmosphere. While many hotels are expensive, with some thorough searching, you can find more affordable options.
