Detailed itinerary
1
The islanders call it ''a chiazz", or piazza. On the maps, Capri's most famous square is called Piazza Umberto I. For the rest of the world it's the Piazzetta. One thing everybody agrees on, is that it's the heart of the island where, sooner or later, all those visiting Capri come to watch the world go by.
2
Capri isn't only the name of the most famous and popular island in the Bay of Naples, but also one of the two towns on the island (the other is called Anacapri. Some of the most important landmarks on the island are located in Capri town, including the Piazzetta and the Faraglioni, and there is a wide variety of sights and experiences within the municipal boundaries: beaches, walking trails, museums, and, of course, the most glamorous shopping streets and trendy cafés where the glitterati from across the globe gather.
3
Take the short and pleasant walk from the Piazzetta in Capri to other two must-sees: the Charterhouse of San Giacomo, built in 1371 and the oldest and most storied landmark on the island; and the Gardens of Augustus, a lush terraced garden with sweeping views over the Faraglioni, Bay of Marina Piccola, and winding Via Krupp.

Stop 4
Venture up the slopes of Monte Tiberio to reach the ruins of the 12 Roman villas the Emperor Tiberius had built on the island of Capri. Finished in the first century AD, Villa Jovis covered more than 7,000 square meters and overlooked the whole of the Bay of Naples from Ischia to Punta Campanella. To reach the ruins from the Piazzetta, follow Via Le Botteghe uphill to Via Fuorlovado, Via Croce, and finally Via Tiberio. It's a long climb, so be sure to stop and catch your breath along the way!
5
Anacapri is one of the two municipalities that make up the island of Capri. It sits on the highest reaches of the island and was once connected to the port below via a long flight of stairs that still exists today: the 921 steps of the Scala Fenicia (Phoenician Steps). This is the more laid back and less “glamorous” side of Capri, with a town center thick with artisan workshops, picturesque tiny squares, and stone-paved pedestrian lanes.
