A trip around the island lasts approximately two hours, but the waters can get busy during the day, so an early morning jaunt or a journey in the late afternoon or evening is the perfect time to take a tour.
Important sites to see while cruising around the waters include the Faraglioni of Capri, considered the iconic natural formation that represents the island. Rising out of the sea just off the coast, this is one of the prettiest vistas in Italy.
In addition, the Blue Grotto, a small cave, is one of the most unusual natural attractions in the world. Take a small row-boat through the opening which leads into the cavity and experience what feels like “navigating through a clear sky” thanks to an underwater opening that allows the sun’s reflection to create an atmospheric-looking sea.
Travelers on a European vacation who want to experience true Capri beaches can visit Marina Piccola, the site of Ulysses’ seduction by the sirens.

Planning Your Next Trip with Atlas Travel Center
At Atlas Travel Center, we’ve spent over 35 years helping travelers turn ideas like the one in this post into fully realized journeys. Whether you’re reading this as inspiration for a trip you’re already planning or as the first seed of a travel dream, our advisors are here to take it from concept to confirmation — handling every detail along the way.
What sets Atlas apart isn’t just our longevity in the business — it’s the depth of expertise we bring to every booking. Our agents are specialists, not generalists. Many have personal experience at the destinations they recommend, onboard the ships they book, and with the tour operators they partner with. When you work with an Atlas advisor, you’re getting counsel grounded in real experience, not just what’s on a website.
Why Work with a Travel Advisor in the Age of Online Booking?
Online booking tools have made it easier than ever to assemble a trip — and also easier than ever to make an expensive mistake. The lowest price on a comparison site often omits a resort fee, books a room category you wouldn’t choose if you saw the photos, or locks you into a cancellation policy that offers no flexibility. Our advisors know the inventory, the fine print, and the suppliers well enough to navigate all of it on your behalf.
More importantly, when something goes wrong — a flight cancels, a ship changes its itinerary, a resort overbooks — a travel advisor is the difference between hours on hold with an 800 number and a quick call to someone who knows exactly who to call. We’ve been solving those problems for clients since 1987, and we’re very good at it.
