Free Time in Capri
Capri, Italy
About This Activity
Capri rewards unscheduled time. Swim at Marina Piccola on the south side of the island (sunbeds €15-20), hike the 45-minute trail to the Arco Naturale rock arch above the eastern cliffs (free), or sit in the Piazzetta with a granita di limone and watch the world pass. The Villa Jovis ruins (€2) on the island's eastern tip give context to Emperor Tiberius's retreat here — a 45-minute uphill walk from Capri Town. Shopping along Via Vittorio Emanuele covers everything from designer leather to local limoncello.
Seasonal note: Capri is very quiet out of season (November-March) with many businesses closed
