Marina Grande is definitely worth visiting, and you almost certainly will if you hop over to the island, as it's actually the gateway to Capri. However, this port is remarkably scenic, overlooked by a square and lots of typically charming Capri houses, so take some time to soak it in. Many tours that head out to the Blue Grotto and beyond depart from here, and walking tours of the island most likely pass by.

Per one customer who booked the Capri in a Day All-Inclusive Premium Boat Tour and City Visit, "This was one of our favorite experiences during our stay on the Amalfi Coast!  The boat/group was a perfect size. We got to see numerous grottoes and swim in the beautiful blue water. Highly recommend going to Anacapri and taking the chair lift to the top while you're on the island."
