A beautiful hike starting from Termini square. On google maps the beginning of this hike is in the Termini Square — not the overlook of Punta Campanella. Parking in March 2019: white lines are 30 min limit - blue parking area st overlook: €0.50 til 1pm; 1-5pm free. This is what we were told from the coffee shop next door. We bought a parking sticker from him since we arrived at 12:30pm. From the lot, walk south towards the split in the road. Right down the hill & right at the split. You’ll see signs. On the trail, there are red lines (&white) on rocks and posts marking the trail.
Our Runkeeper logged 5 Miles doing the “loop” from the square. We had lunch. Stopped lots for photos. Took us about 3 hours total.
The “veer right” side - beginning of the “hike” / wall is on road to cobblestone & is pretty easy. Slightly downhill with varying degrees of slope. The view is stunning as you can see Capri & much of the coastline below. In March - wildflowers everywhere.
That’s roughly 2 Miles down the cobblestone to get to the Lighthouses (old & new! 1335 & 1846!!!!)
Once we were there, a few overlook points & as you begin your return, to the right there is a worn path (several paths so look for a 1-2 foot wide path!), that takes the trail up the steep hill; rocky & narrow, grasses brushing us the whole way. Tough steps, steep incline, few unsteady rocks.
Notes: Take lots of water! Even at 60’ F & windy, it was hot! We stopped at lighthouses for lunch & we’re glad we had some food for the hike up the hill. It was a longer hike than expected for us & the food. was great to have.
We are in good physical shape - the hard parts of the hike don’t last too long; can be done easily - planning properly helps :)
Near the top. The trail branches off to Termini and then to what looks like the overlook - it is fenced off; great views - but you’ll get them Going back along the...

Punta Campanella is one of those rare places where time seems to stand still. The lighthouse, perched dramatically on the edge of the rocky cliffs, watches over the sea with quiet strength — a true sentinel of the Mediterranean. Reaching it, whether by land through scenic hiking trails or by boat, feels like discovering a secret whispered by nature herself.
The area is wild, raw, and incredibly peaceful. No crowds, no noise — just the wind, the waves, and the smell of the sea. The views are absolutely breathtaking, stretching across the gulf with Capri shimmering on the horizon. If you’re looking for an authentic and deeply inspiring natural spot away from the tourist chaos, this is it.
Perfect for nature lovers, photographers, or anyone who needs to breathe and reconnect. I’d give it more than 5...
