News from Capri
Capri has introduced strict new rules to combat overtourism. Tour groups are capped at 40 people, guides are banned from using loudspeakers or holding up large umbrellas/flags, and groups over 20 must use earpieces.
Additionally, the island has banned aggressive street solicitation by vendors and continues to enforce a strict ban on single-use plastics.The island's 2026 tourism overhaul is a direct response to soaring visitor numbers that routinely hit up to 50,000 daily visitors, far exceeding the local population of around 13,000 residents.
Key measures implemented include:
Group limits:
Tour groups are limited to 40 people, and groups over 20 must use quiet audio headsets.
Visual and noise pollution bans:
Megaphones, loudspeakers, oversized markers (like umbrellas or bright flags) are forbidden.
Harassment crackdown:
Persistent street solicitation by hawkers, ticket touters, and restaurant hosts is strictly penalized, with violators facing fines of up to €585.
Single-use plastic ban:
The island strictly prohibits single-use plastics (bottles, cups, cutlery), and tourists can face heavy fines for using them.
