Restaurants, Cafés, and Beaches

These are estimated prices to give you an idea of how much entertainment on Capri costs!

• Sun lounger at a private beach club: from EUR 20
• Gelato from Buonocore: from EUR 3
• Panino caprese from the da Aldo deli: EUR 5

• Drink in a nightclub: from EUR 15

A day on Capri with a boat tour of the island, a visit to the Blue Grotto and Villa San Michele, the chairlift for Mount Solaro, a panino and gelato costs about EUR 100 a person.

It will cost more or less the same if you decide to spend your day at a private beach club on Capri with lunch in a beachfront restaurant.

An evening out with an aperitivo, restaurant dinner, and cover in a nightclub will easily cost you EUR 150 a person. And that's how Capri got its reputation for being expensive!
