Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Weather read at Capri town: ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. It is flagged rather than scored down, and crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest from May to September; quietest from December to February.

Then and now

Capri's June days now average 24.2°C, 2.7°C warmer than in 1981–1990. 12 of 12 months are clearly warmer.

Getting there

Fly into Napoli (NAP), then drive. The flights under Where to book are to Napoli.

The drive from each airport is the road's, from openrouteservice.org by HeiGIT: typical, not a schedule.

How far Capri is, and what it costs, depends on where you set off from — the months above do not.

Before you go

Type C and F and L plugs at 230 V. Drives on the right. The currency is the Euro. No UK Foreign Office advice against travel. Everything for Italy: cost of living, languages, emergency numbers and health.

Being there

On arrival

Paying — By law, shops, cafés and bars must take a card payment of any amount, and refusing one is fined. Carry a little cash for tips.
UPI, for visitors from India — Not accepted for paying here; bring a card that works abroad.
Tipping — Not customary; restaurants outside Rome often add a cover charge (coperto). Leaving the change in cafés and taxis is common.

Getting around Capri

Apps — Rides: FreeNow, itTaxi, Uber. Maps: Google Maps, Apple Maps. Messages: WhatsApp. In Rome these apps book licensed taxis; Uber also offers the dearer Uber Black.

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. More on Wikivoyage

TravelCharika is not an emergency service: we cannot call for help or send anyone. Numbers can change; if one fails, ask someone local or your hotel.

What Capri is like

The small Italian island of Capri is 5 km from the mainland in the Bay of Naples, a celebrated beauty spot and coastal resort since the days of the Roman Republic until now. It is also part of Campania. More on Wikivoyage

Worth seeing: Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra). The Blue Grotto is a beautiful cave at the water's edge with a tiny opening to the sea that opens and closes with the tide, used as a bath since the Roman times. More on Wikivoyage
Worth doing: Capri is a place to do as little or as much as you like. The four cafes in the main square are the place to be seen in the evenings after the deluge of day trippers have left. More on Wikivoyage
Getting in: Capri is reached in about 40 minutes by hydrofoil from the port of Ischia or Forio, docking at Marina Grande on the north side of the island. More on Wikivoyage
Staying safe: As with many other places, hike at your own risk. More on Wikivoyage

Kind of place

Capri is in Italy, Europe. Distances are great-circle, so a short one can still be a long way round.
