The story
Away from Capri’s crowded piazzas, Sentiero delle Calanche offers a quieter side of the island. Part of some 26 kilometers of trails used for centuries by locals for farming, fishing, and hunting, this historic path winds through rugged terrain that reveals an authentic, unhurried Capri. In a video titled “Spaghetti al pomodoro tra i sentieri di Capri,” Gambero Rosso highlighted the trail as a place to experience the island as locals have long known it—peaceful, steeped in tradition, and far from the typical tourist bustle.
The path’s 4.8-star rating reflects its appeal to those seeking a hidden gem. While the trail itself offers no dining, its connection to Capri’s agricultural past evokes the kind of simple, sun-warmed meal that fits the landscape. For visitors wanting to see beyond the glamour, Sentiero delle Calanche delivers a rare, grounded encounter with the island’s true character.
