Enjoying walking on the island
Capri is a pedestrian's paradise, offering everything from breezy seaside strolls to rugged cliffside treks. The best and most popular routes include the dramatic Pizzolungo coastal trail, the historic Phoenician Steps leading up to Anacapri, and the zigzagging switchbacks of Via Krupp.
These standout walking trails and pathways provide the best way to explore the island's unique landscape:
Pizzolungo Trail:
Starting from the bustling Piazzetta, this trail winds past the Tragara viewing point to offer stunning views of the famous Faraglioni rocks. The path continues down steep steps to the Grotta di Matermania and finishes at the spectacular Arco Naturale (Natural Arch).
Via Krupp:
This iconic, historic walkway connects Capri Town to Marina Piccola. Hand-carved into the sheer limestone cliffside, it features a dizzying series of tight switchbacks.
Phoenician Steps (Scala Fenicia):
A challenging but rewarding 921-step stone staircase that once served as the only connection between the port of Marina Grande and Anacapri.
Villa Jovis and Villa Lysis:
An easy-to-moderate walk starting from Capri Town. You can wander through a maze of pretty residential streets to visit Villa Lysis, and continue on to explore Villa Jovis, an impressive ancient Roman palace built by the Emperor Tiberius.
Fortini Coastal Walk (Sentiero dei Fortini): Located in Anacapri, this trail meanders along the rugged western coast, passing ancient coastal defense towers and offering panoramic ocean views.
Monte Solaro:
The island's highest peak can be reached by a rugged hiking trail that takes you from the country lanes of Anacapri to the summit, where you will be rewarded with sweeping 360-degree views.
