If you've arrived in Naples and want to reach Capri in the quickest and most relaxing way possible, ask your hotel to arrange a speedboat to pick you up in style.
Be guided by Marco Guiliano, head concierge of Grand Hotel Parker’s in Naples. As hospitality insiders, these connoisseurs show you how to experience Capri in the best way possible.
Where to eat & go for a drink
CAPRI ROOFTOP
Take in majestic views of the island and the seas at this upscale cocktail lounge on top of a cliff. The perfect place to sip a negroni while watching the boats go by.
LIDO DEL FARO
A relaxed beach club and restaurant with the most picturesque views imaginable, stretching along the cliffs.
VILLA VERDE
Experience enchanting flavours and intriguing aromas on the romantic terrace of this exquisite restaurant, right around the corner of the historic ‘piazetta’ of Capri.
The charming location makes it the perfect spot for a romantic candlelight dinner.
DA PAOLINO
Aptly named ‘Paolino under the lemon trees’, this restaurant has to be seen to be believed. From the perfectly made-up tables under shades of a wealth of lemon trees and beautifully dressed dishes. It is a romantic fairytale come true.
ANEMA E CORE
In the heart of Capri lies the island’s best-known and most-loved nightclub. For more than twenty years, it has been a hidden gem where pop stars, politicians, top models, and even royals dance the night away to Neapolitan music.
QUISISANA TERRACE
Right on the central square of Capri lies the Grand Hotel Quisisana. The hotel’s terrace is accessible for all and a must-visit place to dine or drink, with great city views and an elegant atmosphere.
LA FONTELINA
With its classic azure blue umbrellas repeating the colour of the luscious waves landing just meters from your feet, this beach club is just awe-inspiring. It is the kind of place that just breathes the Dolce Vita, with exquisite service and a restaurant that serves food right on the beach or cliffs.
What to do
VILLA JOVIS

BOAT TOUR
Any boat tour of the island is a must, as the many cliffs and hillside architecture can only truly be admired from the water.
