After arriving on the island, you’ll head toward the entrance of the Blue Grotto, nestled on the hills of Anacapri.

By visiting early in the morning, you’ll have the best chance to avoid crowds and long waiting lines at the cave’s entrance.
After walking down a few steps, hop into a small paddle boat and glide into the stunning Blue Grotto, where the cave’s glowing blue light creates an unforgettable atmosphere.
It’s time to explore Anacapri, a charming hilltop village that offers a more peaceful and authentic side of the island. Visit the famous Villa San Michele or take the chairlift to Mount Solaro for breathtaking views, or simply enjoy some free time wandering through the picturesque streets and soaking up the relaxed atmosphere.
Head to the center of Capri to discover the island’s most iconic attractions. Take beautiful photos of the famous Faraglioni Rocks, walk along Via Camerelle, known as the Street of Fashion with its elegant boutiques and local artisan shops, enjoy a coffee in the lively Piazza Umberto I, also called La Piazzetta, and visit the stunning Gardens of Augustus overlooking the Gulf (admission not included).
Return to the port by local funicular to board the hydrofoil back to Sorrento, or choose to join an optional boat tour around the island if you have selected this option.
