Capri mayor blocks tourists amid water shortage
An aqueduct supplying water to the popular tourist destination has failed, sparking an acute emergency,according to DW. Residents and tourists with hotel reservations are allowed to be on the island, all others have been turned away
The popular Italian travel destination of Capri is currently inaccessible to non-residents and tourists without hotel reservations.
The situation was prompted by a technical issue on the Italian mainland that caused the island’s water supply to break down.
On Saturday, Capri Mayor Paolo Falco issued an order barring all non-residents and day tourists from docking until further notice. The order forced several ferries on route to Capri from Naples and Sorrento to return to port.
