Capri, a picturesque island in the Gulf of Naples, has implemented strict regulations against single-use plastics, including water bottles, in a bid to reduce environmental damage from the influx of approximately 2.7 million tourists each year. The ban, targeting items such as plastic bags and straws, has been in place for several years and is applicable to both residents and visitors. Despite this, many tourists find themselves caught unaware by this law, which can result in a hefty fine of up to £435 if caught.
