The Journey
Blue Grotto
The Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) on the coast of Capri, Italy, is a sea cave renowned for its ethereal, electric-blue light. Sunlight enters through an underwater cavity, creating a mesmerizing effect that bathes the cave in a vibrant azure hue. Visitors are rowed in small boats through a narrow opening to witness this natural wonder, a popular destination since Roman times when it was believed to be a nymph sanctuary. The experience offers unparalleled photo opportunities and a serene, almost otherworldly ambiance, making it a highlight of any visit to Capri.

Please note that the tour starts at the port and ends there as well, with no hotel pickup or drop-off provided.
