About Anacapri
Anacapri sits high on Capri's western slope, a quieter, more lived-in counterpart to the glitzy harbour below, where whitewashed lanes, the church of San Michele and the Phoenician Steps reward anyone who comes for history rather than shopping. Most travellers reach it on a guided day trip, such as the Sorrento: Blue Grotto, Capri & Anacapri Guided Full-Day Tour, which pairs the island's archaeology with its coastal scenery, or the From Rome: Capri Island Day Trip for those coming from the mainland.

Frequently asked questions
Anacapri is where Capri's everyday past survives: the 18th-century church of San Michele with its majolica floor, the Phoenician Steps cut into the cliff, and Villa San Michele built over Roman ruins. A guided day trip gives you the context these sites need, since signage is limited and the island's layers of Greek, Roman, Bourbon and modern.
