Need to know
Capri can get quite busy during peak summer months, so I recommend visiting in late May or early September for ideal weather and fewer crowds. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes—the most charming parts of the island are walkable but often involve stairs and cobblestone paths. Don’t skip Anacapri either—it’s quieter, more local, and every bit as magical. If you’re arriving from Naples, a private transfer is well worth the splurge to start your trip with ease. And if you’re staying on the island, consider using a porter service for your luggage—navigating the hills and stone streets with heavy bags is no easy feat!
