How to Travel Capri: 2 Days on Italy's Most Famous Island

Adventure Travel Diaries
Oct 4, 2026

Capri has a reputation for being impossibly expensive and impossibly crowded. We stayed two nights to find out how much of that is actually true - and how to do the island without a yacht budget.

🇮🇹 Faraglioni views, a free swimming spot that became our favourite in Italy, and €22 dinners on an island famous for the opposite.

We spent two days exploring both sides of Capri - the famous viewpoints and the quiet ones, plus Anacapri, the more local village most day-trippers never reach.

Along the way we share what's genuinely worth paying for, how to time your day around the crowds, and why staying overnight changes the island completely.

📍 Capri, Bay of Naples, Italy
