The Phoenician steps

To reach Capri, you can take a ferry from Naples or Sorrento, and in the summer, from Positano, Amalfi, Salerno, or Ischia. From the ferry port, you can catch a bus right across the island up to the village of Anacapri sitting high above the Mediterranean. From Anacapri it’s a short walk to the Villa.

Alternatively, for the energetic, you can climb the 921 Phoenician Steps, the long and steep stone stairway that unites the population centre of Capri town with Anacapri village. The stairway was probably built by ancient Greek colonists, rather than by Phoenicians, and takes about an hour of hard climbing.
