Timeline
14:59
Dine at Antica Capri. This regional restaurant is open for its evening service starting at 18:30, but arriving early ensures you have a relaxed meal before the main event. The 12-minute walk from Castel Sant'Elmo is easy to manage if you time it right, or you can take a taxi down. Note that the restaurant is closed on Thursdays.
16:29
Walk up to Castel Sant'Elmo. The fortress is open until 18:30, so you have plenty of time to explore the gallery and find a viewing spot. The description notes a five-minute walk is involved once you are at the right level. Arrive with half an hour to spare to settle in.
16:59
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, offering a view behind Ischia and Procida. This is the key moment of the evening.
17:44
Return to Antica Capri for a second visit or stay if you secured a late table earlier. If you need a drink instead, Spuzzulè Winebar is open until 24:00 and offers typical regional dishes. It is a 16-minute walk from the castle.
