Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1
Naples arrival and the hydrofoil to Capri
09:00
1.5h
Naples airport to Molo Beverello
Take the Alibus from outside arrivals to Molo Beverello, or a fixed-fare taxi. Buy the hydrofoil ticket at the port ticket office and confirm the boarding quay.
📍 Naples
11:00
1.5h
Hydrofoil across to Capri
Ride the fast ferry across the bay, with Vesuvius behind you and the cliffs of Capri ahead. Sit on the open deck if the sea is calm, and keep bags under the seat.
📍 Naples to Capri
15:00
2h
Marina Grande check-in and harbour walk
Check into your hotel and walk the Marina Grande waterfront past the fishing boats. Take the funicular or a bus up to Capri town for dinner, and book a table before sunset.
📍 Capri
💡 Pro Tip: Naples Capodichino is linked to Molo Beverello by the Alibus shuttle in about 25 minutes; taxis charge a fixed airport fare. Hydrofoils to Capri leave from Molo Beverello and take about 50 minutes, with more departures in summer. Capri hotels fill months ahead, and porters meet the ferry for a fee. Entry rules depend on your passport; see the Italy visa section. Italy is UTC+1, UTC+2 from late March to late October.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time for a Capri and Amalfi Coast honeymoon?+
May to mid-June and September are the sweet spot: warm sea for boat days, open cliffside hotels and fewer family crowds than July and August. Late September through October stays mild but some coastal hotels and beach clubs begin closing for winter. Ferries to Capri run less frequently in low season, so check schedules before locking dates.
How far ahead should we reserve cliffside hotels in Positano?+
Book three to six months ahead for May, June and September, and earlier if you want a specific sea-view room or a hotel with a pool. Positano's cliffside properties are small and sell out first. Confirm cancellation terms, since the luxury price band of roughly $2,990-4,190 per couple means deposits can be substantial.
How do we travel from Naples to Capri and then on to Venice?+
Take a hydrofoil from Naples Beverello port to Capri, then a ferry or hydrofoil to Positano or Amalfi for the coast days. For Venice, the itinerary uses an overnight train or a flight; the train involves changes, so compare total travel time. Book hydrofoils ahead in peak season because afternoon sailings fill.
What should a luxury honeymoon on the Amalfi Coast and Venice cost?+
This itinerary is priced at roughly $2,990-4,190 per couple, about EUR 2,600-3,640, excluding international flights. That covers cliffside hotels, private boat time on Capri, transfers and dining. Add daily spend for gondola rides, lagoon island tours and shopping. July and August rates sit at the top of the band.
