Italy is without a doubt one of my favorite countries in the world. From its endless historical sights, to beautiful European architecture, to incredible wineries, and stunning beaches, it has everything you could want for the quintessential honeymoon experience. Let’s also not forget about the food which is one of my most important criteria when traveling. How can you hate on authentic Italian food with the freshest ingredients?!
I’ve traveled extensively throughout Italy from the beautiful Dolomites to the southernmost province of Sicily. I’ve planned many honeymoons already through Bali, Greece, and South Africa and I think Italy is definitely one of my favorite locations to plan an European honeymoon.
Italy is a deceptively large country. While it isn’t that big in land size, it packs so many completely different experiences into one country. You can explore the most beautiful mountain range in the world in the Dolomites in Italy’s far north, and then also see stunning Ancient roman ruins and turquoise beaches in Sicily. In between, there are literally countless other places that are worth seeing and visiting.
For the purpose of this post, I will focus my Italy honeymoon itinerary on some of my favorite areas in Italy: the wine region of Tuscany, and the iconic Amalfi Coast. These are some of the areas I’ve spent the most time in while in Italy and in my opinion some of the best that Italy has to offer.
Read my other Italy travel posts!
Of all the countries in Europe, I’ve spent the most time traveling around Italy and Greece (many months). I’ve been almost everywhere from north to south and always come back for more.
How many days do I need for a Italy honeymoon?
Italy is a country packed with an incredible amount of unique things to see. You can spend months traveling through Italy(as I have done) and still won’t see everything.
For a honeymoon in Italy, I think 1 to 2 weeks is perfect. Of course, if you have more time, that means you can see more things because there are easily enough things to last a month in Italy. For the purpose of this itinerary, I will plan it out as a two week trip. I think if you’re going to go through the trouble of planning a big honeymoon trip to Italy, you might as well spend as much time as possible and not rush through everything.

What are the most beautiful areas in Italy to visit for a honeymoon?
Now you’re asking the serious questions. There is something for everyone in Italy. You have the most beautiful mountains in the world in the Italian alps, breathtaking lakeside towns in Lake Como and Lake Garda, picturesque wine country in the Piedmont region or Tuscany, southern charm in the Puglia region, and Arabian influences in Sicily.
You can’t go wrong with any of these areas, it’s simply a matter of what you’re looking for. If you can’t decide, make sure to read all my Italy related travel posts where you can read through my experiences and see which photos give you the most FOMO!
No matter where you go however, you can be sure that you’ll be greeted with incredible Italian architecture, beautiful views, and the most amazing Italian food. If you’re coming from America and have never been to Italy, know that Italian food in Italy and American Italian food are totally different. I was never a fan of Italian food while growing up in the US because I thought the ingredients were heavy and simply not that tasty. The first time I set foot in Italy, I saw the light. The food in Italy is so much more fresh, healthy, and delicious.
The best time to visit the Italy
The best time to visit Italy Island is from late April to early June and September to early October. During these shoulder seasons, the country and especially areas like Tuscany and Amalfi Coast offers a perfect blend of mild weather, manageable crowds, and more affordable costs, ensuring a delightful and memorable experience.
Weather:
The early summer and early fall months bring pleasantly warm temperatures, typically ranging from 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). This climate is ideal for exploring Capri’s stunning landscapes, whether you’re hiking the scenic trails of Monte Solaro, or sipping on Tuscan wines. The sea is also warm enough for swimming, providing a refreshing escape without the oppressive heat of summer.
Crowds
One of the most appealing aspects of visiting during these shoulder seasons is the reduced number of tourists. While places like Tuscany and the Amalfi coast area popular year round destinations, July and August will bring in peak crowds which means it can be too crowded for comfort.
By contrast, late spring and early fall offer a more relaxed atmosphere, allowing you to explore the island’s charm and beauty at your own pace. You’ll find it easier to enjoy the vibrant Piazzetta, wander through the picturesque streets of Anacapri, and soak in the serene views from the Gardens of Augustus without the hustle and bustle.
Costs
Traveling during the shoulder seasons can also be more cost-effective. Hotels and flights are generally less expensive compared to the high season, and you can often find attractive deals and discounts. Many accommodations offer special packages during these periods, providing excellent value for money.
Dining out and enjoying various activities also tend to be more affordable, as prices are not inflated by peak demand.
Planning the Italy Honeymoon
Italy is an easy country to plan for. Tourism is one of the biggest contributors to the GDP of Italy so you can expect to have loads of beautiful accommodation options. There are also many trains and cheap flights so you can get around the country.
Where to go in Italy for a honeymoon
As I’ve already mentioned in previous sections, my favorite areas for an Italian honeymoon are the Tuscany and Amalfi Coast regions. While I think a stop in Rome can make sense for most people, I find Rome to be a bit too touristy and busy. I would rather visit Capri Island and the Amalfi Coast over a 3-4 day stop in Rome. I do think Rome is very historic and worth visiting but I just think it is too chaotic for a honeymoon trip.
The city of Florence is also a must visit. I really liked Florence, even if it was super touristy (like Rome). The Duomo of Florence is among the most beautiful cathedrals in Europe and the steak Florentina is to die for. In the end, these are the main stops for this Italian honeymoon itinerary:
- Florence
- Tuscany (various towns and wineries)
- Amalfi Coast (various towns)
- Capri Island
- Naples (if time allows it)
Naples is another town that is along this route that is a popular destination for Italy visitors. However, as time is already tight, I think you can give Naples a skip. While I really like the city, many people are turned off by its gritty and authentic nature. It’s not the most beautiful city but that’s also part of the charm for me. Naples is the birth place of pizza after all and the food here is outstanding.

Renting a car for the Italy honeymoon
While you won’t need a car in the cities, I think having a car in other parts of the country makes the experience much more enjoyable. For the honeymoon itinerary, I would recommend renting a car in Tuscany. The countryside of the Tuscan wine region is absolutely stunning but it is so spread out.
You’ll want to have a car so you can easily visit the smaller villages and the many amazing wineries. Having a car will allow you to be spontaneous and not rely on taxis, buses, and other forms of transportation that are just not reliable in the countryside. If you really do not fancy renting a car, then the next best option is to simply book organized day tours of the wine region.
Rent a scooter in the Amalfi Coast
I do not recommend renting a car in the Amalfi Coast area however. That’s because this region is densely packed with small roads that almost always succumb to traffic jams. The main road through the Amalfi coast is a one lane road.
Alternatively, I can highly recommend renting a scooter for the Amalfi coast. Not only is this the fastest and most convenient way to get around, but you can skip the traffic. If you feel flashy, rent a Vespa for the full Italian experience!
Florence: Day 1-4
Finally, the honeymoon starts in Florence, the capital of Tuscany. Florence, as many might know from history classes, is one of the most important cities in Europe and the birthplace of the Renaissance. The Medici family, whose name I heard so much of in high school history, more or less ruled Florence for centuries and helped cast the Renaissance movement that took over the rest of Europe.
Florence was once the capital of Italy, before it was moved to Rome only a century ago. Florence is an absolutely beautiful city with picturesque streets, beautiful bridges, countless churches/museums, and one of the most stunning Duomos I’ve ever seen.
Eat Paninis in Florence
Florence is famous for their paninis, an in particular the Schiacciata bread. When in Florence, no trip is complete without gorging on many of these oversized sandwiches.
The most famous place of all is without a doubt All’Antico Vinaio. This place is an institution in Florence and attracts thousands of people every day to eat their sandwiches. The sandwiches are stuffed with meat, cheese, and veggies depending on your preference. All of it is then pressed and warmed between two pieces of Schiacciata bread, which I can compare to Focaccia bread.
All’Antico Vinaio attracts lines that can wrap around the street. On my first visit, I came around 1pm which is rush hour. The line was wrapping around the corner so I decided to come back the following day around their opening time of 10am. There are multiple locations of All’Antico Vinaio literally on the same street (that’s how much demand there is) but all of them fill up with hungry tourists and locals alike.
After waiting about 15 minutes, I was able to finally purchase one of these delicious sandwiches. I went with the original Favalosa and the thing is massive. Bring it with you to the river nearby and enjoy your sandwich with a view. It’s likely there will be many others near you also doing the same thing.
Alternatively, if you don’t want to wait in line, I had paninis in other institutions nearby. I can recommend Panini Toscani and Il Bufalo Trippone. Both sandwiches are delicious and on the cheaper side (€5 or so).
Eat Florentine style steak
La Bistecca Florentina is an absolute must eat when visiting Florence. Turns out the city is also famous for its exceptional cows and steak. There are numerous restaurants in the city that serve the famous steaks which are essentially extra thick porterhouses.
I went to Trattoria Dall Oste which is one of the most famous steakhouses in the city. Don’t mess around with anything and simply get their 1.2kg steak of Chianina cow which is the local and most respected breed. Ask them to cook it rare as this is how it is supposed to be prepared. It comes out on a hot stone plate so in case you are not manly enough, you can cook it further. I normally eat my steak Medium rare but rare was the absolute right move here.
The steak is incredibly tender and juicy. More tender than most other steaks I’ve had with the exception of Japanese Wagyu of course.
What to do in Florence
This deserves a post in its own right and I might just make one eventually. There are so many things to do and see in Florence. Here are my main highlights of the city
- Go to the Duomo: You can’t miss this. You literally cannot. It is in the center of the city and its huge dome is visible throughout the city. The pictures are also very stunning of the narrow Florence streets with the Duomo at the end
- Piazza Michelangelo: For the best views of the city, go to the Piazza Michelangelo and enjoy the sunset with some drinks
- David of Michaelangelo: The ultra famous Statue of David sculpted by Michaelangelo is in this museum. Try to visit right before closing time to avoid the crowds
- Ponte Vecchio: Famous arched bridge with Roman origins. Definitely a must see.
Here are some more pictures to help inspire your Florence trip.
Day 4-7: Tuscany
Finally, after Florence, it’s time to rent a car and venture to the beautiful Tuscan wine region! I would recommend renting a car from Florence. Instead of renting a car from the airport, it makes more sense to rent a car from the center if you can find one since you’ll need to take a train from Florence to the Amalfi coast once you’re done with Tuscany.
There are many places in Tuscany to stay but I absolutely loved my stay in the town of Montepulciano which is one of the main towns in the Tuscan wine region. I used this as a base to explore nearby villages and wineries.
Montepulciano
We arrived in Montepulciano in the late afternoon which allowed me enough time to check into my absolutely stunning Airbnb overlooking the Val D’Orcia and enjoy some Aperitivos.
Montepulciano is probably the biggest village/town in Tuscany. I consider Siena and Florence to be cities but among the cute must see traditional villages, Montepulciano is the biggest.
Montepulciano is one of many hilltop towns in Tuscany. Its beautiful Medieval buildings located on the top of a hill makes it incredible to look at from afar. While in the town, there are beautiful street after beautiful street for you to walk through.
I really enjoyed staying in Montepulciano as I found it to be small enough to maintain that Italian small town charm, but big enough where there are plenty of wine bars and restaurants. I heard in normal times, this place gets a little crazy during the summer months but it was just perfect for me in COVID summer 2021.
Make sure to make a reservation at Osteria Acquacheta which is famous around the region and serves a delicious Bistecca Florentina. The pastas are also incredible here so make sure to try the pasta with tartufa (Truffles).
First day of wine tastingWine tasting at Bindella Winery
The first stop is the Bindella winery which came highly recommended from my Airbnb host. This winery is one of the biggest and grandest wineries in the Montepulciano region. It is modern, spacious, and has absolutely spectacular views of the Tuscan landscape with a beautiful tasting room overlooking it.
We just showed up without a reservation and had our first of many tastings of Tuscan wines. Being in Montepulciano, I learned all about the wine production here and about the Sangiovese grape. I tasted a basic Rosso Di Montepulciano from Bindella, as well as their higher end Nobilo wines.
Delicious, and beautiful views without a doubt. The tastings are a bit pricey however at 21 euros.
Lunch around Pienza
Tuscany is also home to the very cute town of Pienza. Not only is it a beautiful Tuscan town, but it is also home to the famous and delicious Pecorino cheese. Made from sheep, this cheese is commonly used on famous pastas like cacio e pepe.
One of the best places to try Pecorino is at the Cugusi Silvana farm. Located right outside of the town, this farm produces pecorino and has an onsite shop that provides tastings as well as the ability to create your own picnic basket. Once you’ve selected your cheese and meats (I’d recommend tasting the more aged pecorinos), you can take it and enjoy it on their properties which have stunning views of the Tuscan landscape.
This is every Italian lovers dream. Eating outside on the rolling hills of Tuscany enjoying a glass of Montelpuciano while eating delicious bread and cheese.
Montalcino Town
After lunch, head to Montalcino town, another beautiful and picturesque hillside town in Tuscany. It is a bit smaller than Montepulciano with one main street to walk through. Nevertheless, it is incredibly picturesque with numerous churches and countless wine shops selling Brunello di Montepulciano.
Next stop, wine tasting of Brunello!
Azienda Agricola Patrizia Cencioni – Brunello di Montalcino Winery
I must say I really lucked out when discovering this winery located just outside of Montalcino.
Azienda Agricola Patrizia Cencioni winery specializes in producing Brunello di Montalcino. Like the wineries around Montepulciano, the wineries around Montalcino are the only ones that can produce the world famous and delicious Brunello wines. These wines are 100% Sangiovese grapes and must be aged for a minimum of 5 years. In 2021, that means the newest vintage comes from 2016!
These wines are extra smooth, full bodied, and just pure deliciousness. As you’d expect, the wines are more expensive because of the complex and long process it takes to produce. The winery was amazing because they allowed us to taste all of their Brunello and Rosso wines for free! They didn’t skimp on the pours too and I was just in heaven afterwards.
I ended up buying a few bottles because Brunello di Montalcino bottles outside of Tuscany can be very expensive.
San Quirico D’Orcia
Last but not least, we drove to the town of Orcia which was on the way back towards Montepulciano. I had just heard this was a cute hilltop town and that’s exactly what it was. There was not much here besides the one street that stretched throughout the city.
Had a quick aperitivo here before heading back to Montepulciano for dinner.
The next day was focusing on exploring the Chianti wine region of Tuscany. Chianti is the largest and most well known of the areas in Tuscany. It produces about half of the total wine output of Tuscany.
There are also countless wineries in Chianti to choose from so of course one day is not nearly enough to experience everything.
Castello Brolio
First stop for the day is the famous Castello Brolio. It’s a giant castle and residence that produces wine in the Chianti region. The castle is open for tourists and costs €6 for the entrance. The entrance fee also includes a small wine tasting at their wine shop nearby.
The grounds of this castle are beautiful, albeit not as pretty as the castles I’ve become accustomed to living in Germany. Nevertheless, the views from the winery are absolutely gorgeous. You can see the whole valley of Chianti here.
I will say that I found the landscape near Montepulciano and Montalcino more picturesque than in Chianti. You will not go wrong in either place however!
La Lastra Winery
Next stop was a wine tasting at La Lastra Winery just outside of the town of Siena. This winery was one of the first BIO wineries in Italy. The owner came and gave us a fantastic wine tasting giving us hearty pours and very descriptive explanations.
The property was also fantastic and screamed of Tuscan charm.
Siena Town
For lunch, I decided visiting Siena was a must. Siena is the second largest city in Tuscany after Florence and makes for a very easy day trip.
Siena is definitely worth visiting simply for its beautiful architecture, Duomo, and quaint little streets. I found the views of Siena from afar to be very pretty as well.
Montecchiello Viewpoint Point
If you have time and energy, make sure to go to the ultimate viewpoint in Tuscany that shows off its natural beauty. This is the “famous” Cyprus tree lined road that winds and curves around to a beautiful farmhouse estate.
This is actually a hotel you can stay at but most people stop here to take beautiful photos of the landscape. This is also the iconic viewpoint from the movie Gladiator when Maximus is walking through the fields as he meets his family.
From Tuscany, you’ll need to drop your car off back in Florence and take the train from Florence to Sorrento. Sorrento is one of the larger cities along the Amalfi coast and the gateway to the beautiful region. From Sorrento, you can simply take a taxi to your accommodations along the more beautiful villages in the Amalfi.
Day 7-9: Amalfi Coast (Positano Area)
After a wonderful few nights in the Tuscan wine region, it was time to finally start the Amalfi coast part of the honeymoon itinerary. The Amalfi coast is one of the most beautiful and popular areas of Italy and it’s not hard to see why.
For the purpose of the honeymoon, I recommend basing yourself in one area and make day trips to others. My favorite areas of the Amalfi coast are Positano and Ravello. While Positano is by far the most touristy part of the Amalfi, it is definitely one of the most picturesque places in Italy. Many of the photos you see if Italy are from Positano.
I actually stayed in two different areas for my trip (two nights in Positano, and two nights in Ravello). I like to be active and move around but this might not be for everyone!
Positano Town
Positano is perhaps the most well known, photographed, Instagrammed, and popular place on the coast. The iconic photos of the beautiful little houses on the mountain overlooking the Mediterranean is all here on display.
It’s likely that you’ll be visiting Positano no matter where you stay in the Amalfi Coast.
There aren’t a whole lot of must see tourist attractions in Positano. The entire town is one. Just walk through the streets and alleyways, reveling in how stunning the mountain and ocean landscape is. When you’re done, relax on the beach which is okay but it’s not going to wow you or have an Aperitivo. There are some amazing places to have drinks and also take that iconic photo of the town. My favorite of these are probably the restaurants on Via Cristiforo Columbo.
The town is not big and will take you maybe 30 minutes to 1 hour to see most of it. The town is literally built in a mountain side so if you want to see it all by foot, be prepared to climb many stairs. The prices in Positano are very expensive as you’d expect so budget accordingly. If you want a cheaper meal, stop in at one of the delis where you can get fresh and delicious paninis made.
You will have no shortage of photo opportunities here!
Path of the Gods Hike
One of the most popular activities along the Amalfi Coast is the absolutely stunning Path of the Gods hike. This also happens to be one of the most famous hiking routes in the whole of Italy and it’s easy to understand why, given the fantastic panoramas that await.
This hike came highly recommended to me from numerous folks and after seeing photos, I had to do it myself. It’s a hike that starts in the village of Nocelle nearby to Positano, ending at Bomerano.
From Positano, you can take a bus to Nocelle to begin your hike, or just hike from the main road outside of Positano. The Path of the Gods hike will take you to the top of the mountain which gives you the best views of the region. The whole route lasts around two hours and passes through a lush, green hillside with scattered vineyards along the way.
If you feel like really killing yourself and are staying in Praiano, do what I did which is to start my hike in Praiano, climbing over 1,000 meters to the top of the mountain where the Path of the Gods hike began. This hike took me three hours to finish and was some serious elevation.
If you want to start on the other side, you will need to take Sita buses leaving from Amalfi, ask the driver for the stop Bomerano. From there follow the road signs that will take you at the entrance of the path. The Path of the Gods can also be reached from Praiano but you have to face a long flight of steps to go from sea level to 580 meters high to the pass of Colle Serra.
The views here are breathtaking. I particularly loved the area that overlooks Positano. As touristy as Positano is, the views are just too nice.
Where I stayed in Positano area
There are countless hotels of all budgets to stay in Positano. I wanted to keep my budget on the lower end but also wanted a view of the beautiful Positano view. I stayed at Alcione Residence. The problem with beautiful views of Positano however is the hike up the unforgiving stairs. This will be problematic after one too many Spritz!
Here are a few hotel recommendations for the Positano area:
Day 9-11: Ravello and Amalfi Town
From Positano and Praiano, I took the SITA bus with my luggage to my next destination in Ravello. Located high up on the mountains, Ravello was one of my favorite stops along the Amalfi coast.
The town has a very peculiar history: it was founded slightly behind the coast, on a hill, as a safe harbour against the barbarians. After the barbarian invasions, Ravello has become a very important town in the Republic of Amalfi.
Ravello has also been a famous destination for artists, writers and musicians, like M.C Escher, Richard Wagner, Greta Garbo, Gore Vidal, Truman Capote, Leonard Bernstein and Virginia Woolf.
Getting to Ravello from Positano
From Positano or Praiano, you will need to catch the SITA bus to the town of Amalfi. Here you will transfer to another bus that goes to Ravello. This bus will take roughly 40 minutes or so traverse the winding landscapes up the mountain.
Just remember that in order to purchase the SITA bus tickets, you’ll need to purchase them at the Tobacco shops (so Italian). Of course, you also need to time it correctly because these places always shut down for nap time in the afternoon. You cannot buy tickets on the bus.
Amalfi Town
The town of Amalfi which is right in the middle of the Amalfi coast is the a popular middle destination for people. There isn’t much to see in this town that I found. The town square is where all the tourist attractions are and it is filled with mostly overpriced and mediocre tourist trap restaurants.
I did find a very nice view point on the outskirts of town that allowed for some amazing photos to be taken however!
What to do in Ravello
Ravello doesn’t get as much love as the other towns on the Amalfi coast and I’m not sure why. It is absolutely beautiful and there is plenty to see here.
The main attraction in town is firstly just to walk around admire the old buildings and fantastic views. The most popular attraction in Ravello is without a doubt Villa Rufolo.
One of the most beautiful and famous architectural complexes in Ravello. It was built by the Rufolo family, one of the most powerful families in the Medieval period, consists in different structures: the building (XIII century), the tree-lined entrance, two towers, gardens, chapel and the Moorish courtyard.
Down the street is the equally as picturesque and famous Villa Cimbrone. Clinging to the rocky ridge with the same name, was bought in the first years of the 20th century by Lord Grimthorpe who started extensive restoration works, entrusting them to Mr Nicola Mansi. From the Belvedere of Villa Cimbrone you can enjoy one of the stunning view of the Amalfi coast. The terrace with the seven marble statues overlooking the ocean is absolutely spectacular.
Staying in an amazing Airbnb in Ravello
I stayed in an amazing property in Ravello just outside the main town gates. It had an incredibly breathtaking view of the ocean and a huge deck that was perfect to enjoy that view with. It was also quite affordable and very well located. Look no further than staying at Casa Vacanze De Birba for these amazing views.
There are also many extremely luxurious villa style accommodations in Ravello for those that want to splurge. The Caruso hotel is famous
Day 11-14: Capri Island
Capri island is a 1 hour ferry ride away from Positano. It can easily be visited on a day trip from the Amalfi coast or from Naples but if you have enough time, then I would highly recommend staying a few nights.
Note that Capri is probably one of the most expensive islands in Italy. It’s always been known as an upper class hangout, even from centuries ago. Nevertheless, prices here won’t be much different than if you were coming from London or a big city in the US. Just be prepared to start doling out the cash after spending very little in Naples.
I stayed in a beautiful B&B in Anacapri right at the base of Monte Solaro, which the B&B is appropriately named after. The views of the Mediterranean and the town of Anacapri were breathtaking every morning to wake up to.
Capri (pronounced kah-pri and not like the Capri from Caprisun juices) is an island that offers a landscape of wild beauty sculpted by wind, jagged mountains, and huge boulders. The natural landscape of this island is nothing short of stunning and you will notice it from the ferry ride.
The island is famous for its historic villas, perfectly manicured gardens, quaint buildings, and the Blue Grotto.
Capri vs Anacapri
Capri Island is relatively small but is a common stop on a Mediterranean cruise. It’s only a half hour or so from one end to the other by car. For most tourists, you will most likely stay in the main Capri town or Anacapri on the hill. Both towns are lovely with their own charms. I stayed in Anacapri in a beautiful bed and breakfast with stunning views of the island. From Anacapri, it is closer to the Blue Grotto by bus.
I only had two nights in Capri however, and I found myself spending most of my time in Capri as a lot of the famous sights are near to that town. While it is only a 20 minute bus ride between the two towns, the buses are not super frequent.
If you have a lot of time, you won’t be disappointed in staying in either town. During the high seasons, the town of Capri can become extremely busy so if you want to have more peace and quiet, then stay in Anacapri.
Travel is not only a leisure and entertainment activity, but also an experience that can comprehensively promote personal growth and happiness. Although the time of travel is wonderful, it is also short. Purchasing local specialties, handicrafts, artwork or customized souvenirs is one of the most traditional and common ways to commemorate a trip.
Among them, Custom Keychains are a good choice. You can express your feelings and thoughts about travel by freely designing the material, style, and decoration of your keychain. In addition, you can also give it as a gift to your relatives and friends, bringing the happiness and joy of travel to them.
Taking the buses in Capri
Capri is an extremely expensive island to get around by car. The taxis are pretty crazy expensive. I paid €25 for a ride from the ferry terminal to Anacapri. Taxis are also not readily available as you’ll need to call them beforehand.
The buses are the most common way to get around the island. They run somewhat frequently during the high season months and connect the island pretty well. The Anacapri to Capri bus is the most common but there are also buses from Anacapri to the Blue Grotto and more. The bus fare is €2 per ride and €2.50 if you purchase on the bus. There is also an additional charge if you bring luggage.
Nevertheless, make sure to get familiar with the bus routes as this will be your only way around unless you want to spend hundreds of euros on taxis, scooters, or car rentals.
Visit the numerous sights of Capri
Capri is just stunning. The views from Anacapri are ridiculous. There are a ton of things to see in Capri and do I would recommend staying at least 3 nights. Two nights was simply not enough.
For starters, just walk around the main town of Capri and soak in all the beautiful buildings and views. From Capri town, you can walk to the famous Gardens of Augusto where you can soak in even more beautiful views of the ocean and surrounding rocks. There are also numerous bars and restaurants here with stunning views where you can have a delicious aperitivo (prepare to spend a lot of money though).
From Capri town, take the 30 minute walk to Villa Lysis which is one of the most picturesque and iconic villas in the island. I think the views and picture opportunities here are unmatched. Also visit the Arco Naturele nearby which is a huge rock arch with views of the turquoise waters below.
In the summer months, I would highly recommend a boat tour around the island that visits the Blue Grotto and other sights.
