Discover the real Capri while staying in one of our carefully selected hotels
Citalia is the UK’s leading Italy travel specialist and we have been helping guests discover the real Italy for over 90 years. Citalia was originally founded by the Italian State Railway, and we remain the only UK Tour Operator that can book advance rail travel. Our holidays are authentic, and our itineraries are tailormade by our Italy experts, to ensure each of our guests have an unforgettable Italian adventure.
At Citalia we’re always day-dreaming about our next Italian escape and we know our guests are too! That’s why we only partner with people who share the same love and passion for Italy as we do.
In the spirit of summer, we have partnered with Nonna Tonda, an authentic pasta delivery service, to bring the taste of Italy directly to your home.
The closest airport to Capri is Naples (NAP), which is approximately 2 hours 15 minutes from Capri via ferry (we recommend that flights into Naples arrive no later than 4pm and depart no earlier than 11.30am in order to catch the first/last ferry).
Direct flights to Naples airport (NAP) are available from Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, London Gatwick, London Luton, London Stansted, Manchester and Newcastle and take approximately 2 hours 45 minutes.
Capri's season runs from April to October. Summer (June to August) is the busiest time for the island but even during these months the evenings are relatively quiet as most people are only visiting for the day. April, May, September and October are the best months to travel to avoid the worst of the crowds and still enjoy good weather and warm sea temperatures.
At the current time, British citizens do not require a visa to visit Italy.
Whilst tipping isn’t embedded into Italian culture it is always appreciated as an acknowledgement of good service. Nowadays people generally round up a bill in a bar or cafe and leave 5-10% extra on a restaurant bill. Taxi bills are usually also rounded up.
On guided tours/excursions, it is customary to leave a token of appreciation for the driver and guide.
On small group escorted tours, it is customary to leave a token of appreciation for the driver and guide at the end of the tour.
The official language of Italy is Italian. English is widely spoken too, so getting by is easy.
Take the chairlift (called the 'Seggiovia' by locals) from Anacapri up to Monte Solaro. On a clear day the views over the Bay of Naples are indescribable.
