  2. As you approach Capri, admire Marina Grande, the island's vibrant harbor and historic fishing village dotted with colorful houses.
  3. On the way to Capri, stop briefly near the ancient Roman villa ruins at Bagni della Regina Giovanna, where history meets nature in a hidden swimming cove. (10 min)
  4. Sail along the island’s dramatic cliffs and explore Capri’s sea caves. Marvel at the bright limestone walls of the White Grotto and the sculptural formations inside the Marvelous Grotto. (10 min)
  5. Admire the striking emerald tones of the Green Grotto, where sunlight filters through the water, creating a dazzling underwater light show. (15 min)
  6. Cruise through the iconic Faraglioni sea stacks, the natural symbol of Capri — a must for that perfect postcard photo.
  7. See the architectural masterpiece Villa Malaparte, perched dramatically on a cliff at Punta Massullo, reachable only by foot or sea.
  8. Rounding the island’s southern tip, catch a glimpse of Punta Carena, home to one of Italy’s oldest and most powerful lighthouses.
  9. Disembark at Marina Grande and enjoy approximately 4 hours of free time to explore the island at your own pace. Visit Piazzetta di Capri, ride the funicular, explore charming shops, or enjoy lunch with a view — your experience, your way. (4h 0min)
