Anacapri ({{IPA|it|anaˈkaːpri|lang}}) is a comune on the island of Capri, in the Metropolitan City of Naples, Italy.

Anacapri is located higher on the island than Capri (about {{cvt|150|m|ft}} higher on average){{cite web|url=http://www.capritourism.com/imgg/download/capri_map_en.pdf|access-date=3 May 2023|website=Capri Tourism|title=Capri Map|archive-date=30 August 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210830224158/http://www.capritourism.com/imgg/download/capri_map_en.pdf|url-status=dead}}—the Ancient Greek prefix ana- meaning "up" or "above". Administratively, it maintains a separate status from the comune of Capri.

Anacapri is widely known for its picturesque, rural tranquility, broad views of the Bay of Naples, and significant historic sites, including Villa San Michele.

Overview

Bus and taxi services connect Marina Grande to Capri and Anacapri via the numerous hairpin turns of Via Giuseppe Orlandi.

A chairlift (seggiovia) in Anacapri connects Piazza Vittoria to the {{cvt|589|m|ft}} Monte Solaro, providing wide views of the south-facing coast.

Punta Carena Lighthouse is located {{cvt|3|km|mi}} from the main town.

French composer Claude Debussy named one of the pieces from his first book of preludes—No. 5, "Les collines d'Anacapri" ("The Hills of Anacapri")—in homage to the community.
