The Capri One Day Itinerary is for those visitors to the island on a strict time-limit, with those constraints determined by the arrival and departure times of the ferries and hydrofoils.
Typically, the majority of visitors arrive mid-morning and leave around late afternoon so we've based our itineraries around that but of course there's no hard and fast rule for this. |
