Naples to Capri Tour: 2/3 Days

Naples to Capri Tour: 2/3 Days

Day 1

After picking you up from your hotel we'll head south along the Sun motorway, the oldest in Europe. As we drive along western Italy you'll see the green Roman countryside and the Castelli Romani, including the Montecassino Abbey which played a key role in the Second World War.

Our first stop on the tour will be Naples. Here we'll visit the historic centre and the Mergellina port, where you'll see the Ovo Castle built in the 12th Century.

Then we'll leave Naples, and continue south past the fertile Vesuvius valley to reach Pompeii. On arrival, we'll stop to have lunch at a restaurant.

In the afternoon, we'll spend 2 hours walking around the ruins of Pompeii. The city, buried by the ashes and lava of Vesuvius in 79, was discovered 1,700 years later, revealing the life of yesteryear, its secrets, its gestures and the panic of its last moments.

As we leave Pompeii we'll drive along one of the most beautiful roads in Italy towards Sorrento, where we'll have dinner and stay the night.

Day 2

The next morning after breakfast, we'll get on a boat to Capri arriving in its famous Marina Grande port. Our first visit will be the Blue Grotto, if weather permits, which sunk millions of years ago blocking the sun rays.

The tour will continue on to the village of Anacapri, located in the highest area of the island. We'll have lunch here at a restaurant with stunning views of the Gulf of Naples.

Our last stop will be in Capri itself, where you'll have time to wander around the most important part of the island including the famous Piazzeta.

When we return to Naples you'll have the opportunity to marvel at the impressive Maschio Angioino (a 12th-century fort), the Certoso di San Martino​, a former monastery complex, and the Palace. The tour will then head back to Rome.

The tour will finish around 8:30 pm in the centre of Rome, or, if you prefer, at your hotel.

3-Day Tour

There is an option to extend the tour another day and spend another night in Sorrento. During the extra day, you'll have free time to enjoy the charming location.

Important Information

During low season, between 1st November and 31st March, the visit to Capri isn't included, as the climate doesn't usually permit it. On this day you'll have free time in Sorrento or you can reserve an additional tour, such as Positano and Amalfi.
