Tourism on Capri is most prevalent from May to October with August being the period with the most visitors. Still, it is relatively free from the biggest crowds during May, June or September when the climate is still good for the beach. But when it comes to paying for hotels and other activities, remember that many destinations become much more expensive during high season.

Light is received in Capri by first having to get to Naples or Sorrento before taking a ferry or a hydrofoil to the island.

4. Stay in the middle of things
Capri comprises of several communes including Capri town, Anacapri, the main port town of the island of Marina Grande and another timidity port town of Marina Piccola.

5. Be relaxed and trendy
Being one of Italy’s capitals of fashion, you’ll need to dress smart-casual but also for comfort because of the island’s terrain. Choose beautiful sundresses , pretty sundresses and casual sandals .

The only advisable way and probably the only compulsory way to get a glance at the amasing sights of the island is by hiring a scooter or e-bike. The road possibly may be narrow and snaky but it is possible to find it thrilling as one is able to explore parts of the island she or he would not had accessed were on a guided tour. Italians are notorious for aggressive driving; therefore just make sure you are an extra careful driver or defensive one.
7. Speaking of which, don’t forget your walking shoes
Although scooters and e-bikes are an excellent way to get around the island, there are also many trails to follow that need proper shoes.
