Sunday 4 October

For those staying in Capri on 4 October, a few suggestions.

Cultural initiative

Guided cultural itinerary

The visit will only be confirmed if at least 10 participants sign up.

Cultural initiative

Swim and/or lunch at Lido Lo Smeraldo

Marina Grande, tel. 081 8375072 (booking recommended). A beach club with crystal-clear waters and excellent cuisine at Marina Grande, convenient for departing directly from the port afterwards.

Cultural initiative

Grotta Azzurra

Reachable by sea with the Motoscafisti Capresi from Molo 0 in Marina Grande, or by land from Anacapri (bus from Capri to Anacapri and, from there, on to the Grotto). This latter option is recommended for those prone to seasickness, as the wait to enter takes place on dry land, in more comfortable conditions.
