Capri Campania, Italy Travel Guide
Capri holds no airport. The closest and most convenient major airport is Naples International Airport (NAP), also known as Capodichino Airport. It is the main gateway for visitors heading to Capri and the wider Campania region.
Flight frequency and prices to Naples go up considerably during Capri's high season (June-August). During these months, demand is high, leading to fewer available seats and higher fares. Booking flights well in advance, especially for high-season travel, can lead to savings.
Naples International Airport provides standard facilities including shops, restaurants, car rental desks, currency exchange, and lounges.
Direct bus from airport to Naples Central Station and Naples Port (€5, every 15-20 min), an efficient and economical option.
Taxis available at airport (€20-€25 to port). Private car services can be pre-booked for comfort.
Dedicated parking lots are available at the Naples ferry port for leaving vehicles before taking the ferry to Capri. Secure facilities.
Similar parking options are available at Sorrento's port for visitors choosing to depart from there.
Parking can be costly for extended periods. It's often advisable to travel light and rely on ferries once in the port cities.
Sea travel is the sole way to reach Capri. Capri's main port is Marina Grande, located on the island's northern side. Your entry into Italy and the Schengen Area occurs at your first international arrival point, typically Naples International Airport.
