Visiting Capri
The Island of Capri isn't that far from Sorrento and is rightly a very popular place to visit from Sorrento.
Capri has always attracted the rich and influential and in the 1960s, the international jet set discovered Capri and it was in this period that Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, Clark Gable and numerous other stars of the silver screen visited, cementing its image as an exclusive and trendy location to be.
Hotels and tour operators in Sorrento will sell you a tour package combining ferry and a tour of Capri or you can easily travel independently and save yourself a little cash as well as having the flexibility to see Capri at your own pace.
Getting to Capri from Sorrento
Whether you travel independently or go on a tour, the journey across the water to Capri will be on one of the several fast boat services that connect the Sorrento port of Marina Piccola with Porto di Marina on Capri in about 30 minutes.
Sorrento orange town buses run by EAV have a couple of town routes that terminate at the port, descending from the town above at about 20 minute frequencies. From Piazza Tasso, for tourists the central point of Sorrento town on top of the cliffs. It's a pleasant enough 10-minute stroll down past the tourist office to the port below, but a bit of a grind walking up. There is also a lift.
At the port there is an area where all the ferry companies have their ticket offices, all side by side in a purpose-built building. All will have their routes and schedules prominently displayed. There are of course agents around the town that may steer you towards one particular operator.

Is it best to take a day tour or independent visit to Capri?
The vast majority of visitors to Capri will be on a day trip.
A typical day tour to Capri is above all stress free, all the transport is organised for you and you are chaperoned on the island by the guide. Tour options have substantial free time too.
Independently you need to book tickets from one of the operators and once in Capri organise your transport around the island.
If all you want to do is amble around the town in Capri, people watch and take in the atmosphere then going independently is probably the best option.
