Capri becomes romantic at the right hours: early morning before the ferries, late afternoon at Tragara, the night when the Piazzetta empties. A weekend for two works if you choose the island's rhythm over a list of sights.
The right walks
Via Tragara at sunset, with the descent towards the Faraglioni; the Natural Arch loop in morning light; the Gardens of Augustus once the groups have gone. All on foot, all within twenty minutes of the centre.
The evening
After dark the island changes scale and the alleys of the centre fall quiet. In Piazzetta Cerio, a minute from the Piazzetta, Spirito di Capri keeps a small room with low light, artworks on the walls and live music nights: you can stay at the table late without moving on.
Two well-spread days
Day one: arrival, historic centre, Tragara, an unhurried dinner. Day two: sea or Anacapri in the morning, Monte Solaro or Punta Carena in the afternoon, back to the centre for aperitivo. No double excursions: the island rewards a slow pace.
