We went to Capri from Maiori on a small open boat (I think there were about eight or nine on board at the most). It was a blazing hot day in early September 2013 and it was a fabulous trip. I'd been to Capri as a teenager on a school trip and the years peeled away as we rode to the top on the funicular. The coffee and ice cream were a bit of a ripoff! We took one of those terrifying narrow buses to Anacapri. It was a lovely day but it was heaving and it was just a day trip. I've heard since that the best thing to do is to fix an overnight stay in Anacapri, when the island is transformed into a different and more pleasant place. Next time...!
