Itinerary
Day 1
Senior-focused, gently paced day on Capri with accessible transfer options, seating breaks and optional short ride into the Blue Grotto.
Meeting & pickup at Piazza Garibaldi (Naples) — meet your guide
Gather at Piazza Garibaldi for hotel pickups or to meet the guide. Staff will confirm passenger list and help guests with mobility needs before boarding the transfer to the port.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring the hotel name you provided at booking — staff will look it up to confirm pickup quickly.
- Piazza Garibaldi has flat sidewalks and benches near Naples Central Station — arrive a few minutes early to avoid rushed boarding.
- If you use a wheelchair, inform the guide at pickup so they can load mobility devices carefully; the driver will help with steps.
Transfer to Molo Beverello (port) and boarding
Short coach transfer to Molo Beverello for hydrofoil boarding. Guide will assist with luggage and priority boarding for guests with mobility needs.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the guide for ferry seating with easy aisle access — some hydrofoils reserve priority seats for less-mobile passengers.
- There are shelter and benches at Molo Beverello; use the public toilets before boarding (family/accessible facilities available).
- Keep a light cardigan handy for the sea breeze; mornings in May can be cool on deck.
Hydrofoil transfer: Naples (Molo Beverello) → Capri (Marina Grande)
Comfortable 35–45 minute hydrofoil ride across the Bay of Naples to Marina Grande, Capri. Scenic coastal views with seating and restrooms onboard.
Tips from local experts:
- Choose a seat inside if you prefer more stable ride and shade; pick a window seat for views without standing.
- If you tend to feel seasick, use motion-sickness wristbands or medication before boarding; mornings are usually calmer.
- On arrival, staff will guide a short, level walk from the dock to the waiting minibus for Anacapri transfer.
Shuttle bus from Marina Grande to Anacapri
Short scenic minibus transfer up to Anacapri. The minibus has step access — staff will provide assistance for anyone needing a lower step or extra help.
Tips from local experts:
- If you prefer to avoid steps, ask for the seat nearest the door to shorten boarding time.
- The road climb to Anacapri is steep but brief — seatbelts and rest stops are available.
- Carry a small folding umbrella or hat (May sun is mild but bright) for short walks once in Anacapri.
Villa San Michele — gentle visit (optional entry ticket not included)
Guided stroll around Villa San Michele grounds and terraces with panoramic views over Capri and the Bay. The villa grounds offer benches and shaded areas for rest.
Tips from local experts:
- Villa San Michele has paths with gentle inclines; request a low-step route from the guide to avoid stairs.
- Benches are placed at viewpoints — use them for short rests while enjoying the vistas.
- Ticket is not included; if mobility is a concern, the staff can suggest the most level parts of the garden to visit.
Seggiovia Monte Solaro (chairlift) — optional panoramic ride
Optional seated chairlift to the Monte Solaro summit for exceptional views (ticket not included). Chairlift reduces walking to the summit and offers easy access to vistas.
Tips from local experts:
- The chairlift has attendants to help guests board — ask for assistance if you use a cane or wheelchair.
- Board mid-morning for calmer lines; return trips are frequent but staff can advise quieter times.
- At the summit there are shaded benches and a café; stay 10–15 minutes only if you prefer shorter standing periods.
Transfer down to Capri town (Marina Grande area) and short break
Drive down to Capri town. Short break to use restrooms, enjoy a coffee, and prepare for lunch. Gentle slopes and benches available near the Piazzetta.
Tips from local experts:
- The Piazzetta area has many cafés with seating — choose a shaded terrace to rest and people-watch without navigating stairs.
- Public toilets near the funicular station are step-free and well-signed; carry small change for access if needed.
- If you tire easily, ask staff to keep your seat reserved at the restaurant while you freshen up nearby.
Lunch at Ristorante Il Geranio — relaxed, scenic meal (drinks not included)
Full, sit-down lunch with views toward the Faraglioni and the Gardens of Augustus. Restaurant known for accommodating dietary needs and offering comfortable seating.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask for a table near the terrace rail for views without long walks; staff are used to accommodating seniors.
- Request lower-step access or a table with chair (no steps) when the guide books your seat.
- If you have dietary restrictions, the kitchen is friendly — tell staff ahead so they can adapt dishes.
Giardini di Augusto (Gardens of Augustus) & Via Krupp viewpoint
Short, level walk through the Gardens of Augustus to the famous viewpoint overlooking Via Krupp and the Faraglioni. Benches and shaded areas available for rests.
Tips from local experts:
- Gardens have paved paths and benches — take advantage of the seating for photo stops and rest between viewpoints.
- Via Krupp can be steep; enjoy the panoramic viewpoint from the Gardens rather than attempting the full walk down if stairs are an issue.
- Visit mid-afternoon for softer light — perfect for photos and fewer crowds in May.
Optional Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) boat visit — weather dependent
Optional short boat excursion into the Blue Grotto if weather and sea conditions permit. This requires a small wooden rowboat from a local boatman (extra fee) and involves boarding assistance.
Tips from local experts:
- Blue Grotto visits depend on sea conditions; the guide will advise—if rough, skip and enjoy a calm harbor-side walk instead.
- Boarding the small rowboat involves low steps; ask crew for assistance and request the gentlest boarding point.
- If you prefer to avoid the smaller craft, the scenic boat circle of the island from a larger boat is a comfortable alternative.
Free time in La Piazzetta — shopping, gelato or a quiet café
Relaxed time to explore the Piazzetta's shops, buy a souvenir, or enjoy a gelato at a seated café. Guide will suggest wheelchair-friendly routes and meeting time for departure.
Tips from local experts:
- Choose gelaterias with street-level seating to avoid stairs; many have accessible entrances around the Piazzetta.
- If you want quieter streets, ask the guide for Via Camerelle side lanes which are flatter and less crowded.
- Keep the guide's phone number handy and agree a visible meeting spot (e.g., the Church of Santo Stefano entrance) to avoid confusion.
Return hydrofoil: Capri (Marina Grande) → Naples (Molo Beverello)
Coach transfer to the Marina Grande for the hydrofoil back to Naples. Staff will assist boarding and ensure seating for anyone who needs to sit during the ride.
Tips from local experts:
- Board the hydrofoil early to secure inside seating if you prefer a smoother ride or easier access to restrooms.
- Keep a light jacket for the return journey; sea breezes can feel cooler in late afternoon in May.
- If you used a wheelchair on the island, ask for ramp assistance — ferry steps can be steep without help.
Transfer back to Piazza Garibaldi / hotel drop-off in Naples
Coach returns to Naples with drop-offs at central points including Piazza Garibaldi and nearby hotels. Expect arrival at approx. 17:30 (time may vary slightly).
Tips from local experts:
- Have your hotel name ready again to speed up drop-off and confirm the best stop for minimal walking.
- If you need help with stairs at the hotel entrance, inform the driver before disembarking so assistance is ready.
- Check pockets and seats for personal items before leaving the coach — mobile phones, cameras and walking sticks are commonly left behind.
