Capri Transport & Terrain Basics
Capri’s main hubs are Marina Grande (port and beach), Capri town above it, and Anacapri further up; use the funicular or buses instead of taxis to save money, and expect steep lanes and steps between viewpoints, so plan footwear and timing accordingly.[6][10]
Saving on Food, Wine, and Beach Time
For a budget but tasty day, lean on simple pasta or pizza and house wine at casual trattorias, look for aperitivo hours where snacks come with drinks, bring a reusable water bottle, and favor free beach sections or shared sunbeds; for wine tasting, pop into small enotecas to sample local bottles rather than booking full vineyard tours.[6]
