While the Amalfi coast is part of the province of Salerno, the splendid island of Capri is part of the province of Naples (and in fact belongs to the Sorrento coast); despite this it is possible to visit Capri directly from Salerno.
As we have already seen on the pages of the site dedicated to the discovery of the territory that is part of the province of Salerno: in the port “Salerno – Concordia” (the main port of the city, 5 minutes walk from the B&B) the company “Travelmar” operates, offering a very efficient ferry service to visit the entire Amalfi coast (Marina di Vietri-Cetara-Maiori-Minori-Amalfi-Positano).
The company “Alicost” also operates in this port, offering a transportation service through which it’s possible to visit the island of Capri.
As the image shows, the best solution available for a day trip is the one that leaves from the port “Salerno – Concordia” (which the Alicost company calls: “Salerno Masuccio”) with departure at 08:00 and return at 18:15.
What to visit in Capri:
Once in Capri, you can take a boat tour to go around the island, including the Blue Grotto and the Faraglioni (we strongly suggest to make this fantastic excursion, and, for example, to save money, it’s possible to create a small group, there on the port, with other tourists that want to realize the same experience).
Alternatively (or additionally if possible) another super nice excursion is the one that goes to the top of the island, to “Villa Jovis” the palace of the emperor Tiberius, who commanded the Roman Empire from Capri! From its sublime position, it’s possible to observe the island of Ischia, Procida, the Gulf of Naples, the Sorrento peninsula, and, then, the Gulf of Salerno until Cilento lands.
