Answer 2

Capri is in the region of Campania, Province of Naples. (--,)

Get in:

By boat

It is reached in about 40 minutes by hydrofoil from the port of Ischia or Forio, docking at Marina Grande. There are also boats from Naples and from Sorrento that sail to the Marina Grande on Capri. Boats from Naples cost 8 € (operated only by Ca.Re.Mar.), hydrofoil 14 € (operated by SNAV and Ca.Re.Mar.).

Get around:

By Foot: from the main harbour to the town up the hill leads a range of stairs. Stairs and walkways, mostly signposted, crisscross the island.

By Funicolare: this mountain tram (same stuff as in Naples, Heidelberg and San Francisco) connects the harbour with the town up the hill. Read also about the unified public transport ticket Campania Unico.

By Bus: Island buses are readily available to take you to the various areas of the island. They run on a schedule and cost just over 1,30 € per ride. Bus tickets are valid for 60 minutes after first use. Taxis are much more expensive.

See:

-Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) - The Blue Grotto is a beautiful cave at the water's edge. The entrance is small and depending on the tide there's room enough for only a small rowboat to get through. Though marked by "No Swimming" signs, we were encouraged by our Capri bus driver who brought us to the site to swim into the grotto. We did and it was spectacular. Dark at the entrance, one has to enter 20-30 yards and then turn around to view the beautiful sight of the light from the entrance flowing through the blue water. Hence the sight of the "Blue Grotto". We laughed at the sight of so many tourists loaded on large boats to see the Blue Grotto. They couldn't see anything but the cave's entrance from 50 yards away

-the Villa Jovis - Villa Jovis, the splendid residence of the Emperor Tiberius, start from Piazzetta Umberto I and turn into Via delle Botteghe, continuing straight on through Via Fuorlovado, Via Croce and, finally, Via Tiberio. After visiting the villa, you could dedicate some time to other attractions in the vicinity, such as the Church of Santa Maria del Soccorso, the Cave of Tiberius and the Lighthouse Tower.

Do:

-Hike Take one of the public footpaths which let you reach for instance the "Arco Naturale" and other beautiful sights which the large majority of tourists will only see from their boat trips around the island. Some of these paths are very steep and you need to walk up and down long stairs sometimes. The map you can buy for a small fee at the main tourist office in the harbor shows most of the footpaths. However, it is difficult to get lost on such a small island.

Rent a motor scooter to tour the island. Gets you around much quicker than on foot, but still allows you to easily maneuver the winding roads.

Take the chairlift ride up Monte Salaro, the views from the summit are incredible, and there's some really pretty gardens and orchards underfoot on the way up the mountain.

Take a boat trip and swim, if weather permits, in the dark Blue Grotto (La Grotta Azzurra). You'll be amazed at the turquoise hues glimmering in the water and against the rocks. For good swimmers and not the faint of heart.
