Before the pandemic, hardly any island in Italy was more overcrowded than Capri. These days, things are a little quieter, and hikers can escape the hustle and bustle during a stroll through the dream villas of the rich and famous.

If you get off the ferry at Marina Grande on the Italian island of Capri, you’ll be welcomed not only by pastel houses, green hills and cliffs, but a banner with the promising words: “Capri Covid Free”.
