Blue Grotto, Capri, Italy - Relaxing boat tour. Grotto Azzurra
The Blue Grotto (Grotto Azzura in Italian) is Capri’s jewel in the crown. This legendary sea cave was once the Roman Emperor Tiberius’ private swimming pool. Bathed in an ethereal blue light it is your must see place to visit on the island.
Thinking of visiting the Grotto on a visit to Capri to see the natural phenomenon for yourself or just fancy watching a tranquil, relaxing boat ride, whichever I hope you enjoy the film.
How to get there: The Grotto is located on the north west coast of the island. If you don’t have a car you can either take a boat from Marina Grande or travel there by bus.
A boat tour from Marina Grande will cost you about 26 euros, comprising the trip to the cave, the rowing boat that takes you into the cave and your entrance fee. Allow about an hour and a half. At peak times there can be quite a line to enter the cave. There are various boat tours including a tour around the island.
Alternatively you can travel there by bus. Buses run from the port Marina Grande to Capri or Anacapri. The bus from Marina Grande to Anacapri takes about 20 minutes and 15 minutes from there to the Grotto. Or why not take the funicular up to Capri and catch the bus from there. The ticket office is to the right as you get off the ferry. A day pass “unico Capri” costs 6.90 euros and covers all your island travel except the Monte Solaro cable car. Take the bus to Anacapri, change then take the bus to the Blue Grotto, you can’t miss it as it is the last stop. Walk down the stairs and wait for your rowing boat. If you travel by bus you wont have to hang around waiting for the rest of your party to go into the grotto.
Once you have enjoyed the grotto take some refreshments at the kiosk up above the grotto before taking the bus back to Capri or Anacapri to carry on your sightseeing.
Tips:
Best light is apparently noon until 2pm. Queues reduce after 3pm but the sea can get rougher and sometimes is too rough to enter. Go early to avoid the lines.
You will need to climb into a row boat. Each rowing boat only holds 3 passengers and the oarsman. You buy your entrance ticket at a floating ticket office first, no credit cards accepted so have enough cash. Be prepared to enter the cave you will need to lie down flat in the boat, the boatman will then pull the boat into the narrow opening of the cave with a chain. It’s a tight squeeze.
The rowing boat costs 13 euros each, which includes the 4 euro entrance fee and don’t forget to tip your guide, be prepared for 5 – 10 euros, it will make him happy.
Money saving tip:
Entrance to the Grotto is free on the first Sunday of every month.
The History Bit:
The cave was discovered by the Romans and used by Emperor Tiberius’ as a private bathing pool and temple. A number of statues have been found in the cave and some are still believed to be lying at the bottom of the cave. The cave became abandoned as locals feared it was inhabited by spirits until it was rediscovered in 1826 and popularised by the writer August Lopisch and painter Ernst Fries.
The Science Bit:
Why does the water inside the cave appear to be bathed in an ethereal blue light?
There are actually two entrance holes into the cave, one directly below the other. The small top hole is the boat entrance to the cave. The lower hole is below the line of the water allows light into the cave which lights up the bottom of the cave, but filters out all but the blue light giving the water it’s brilliant emerald blue colour.

CAPRI, ITALY BOAT TOUR-Featuring The Blue Grotto!
The island of Capri, Italy is a short 30 minute ferry ride from Sorrento. It's one of the most beautiful and famous islands in the world due to it's stunning topography-cliffs that fall into turquoise waters, its many grottoes (caves), its marinas filled with yachts, and of course, the famous Blue Grotto. It's also a great place to people watch and take in the spectacular views. We took a boat ride around the island and my favorites were the Green Grotto (7:56) and the Blue Grotto (9:14)!

Blue Grotto (Grotto Azzurra) Capri Italy
Video clip entering and inside the Blue Grotto by row boat on the beautiful island of Capri. This is a must-see attraction.
The skill of the pilots in getting these tiny boats, crammed with tourists through a minuscule gap requires expert timing and has to be witnessed first hand to be believed. The view when inside is magical and is unbelievable unless you see with your own eyes.

PERFECT DAY TRIP TO CAPRI! (Best way to see Capri and the Blue Grotto)
Ciao from CAPRI!
During our visit to Naples, we planned a day trip to Capri, Italy. And we are so glad we did!
This was one of our favorite travel moments of our year-long round the world trip!
We rented a vespa and drove around the entire island, exploring both Capri and Anacapri. Exploring the island by scooter is THE BEST way to travel Capri, in our opinion.
Cruising on winding streets overlooking the blue sea with wind blowing through your hair is so exhilarating!
We also went inside the famous Blue Grotto, ate lunch in Anacapri, and went on an incredible boat tour of Capri.
In this video, we share our incredible experience and give out tips to spend the perfect day in Capri. Consider this your Capri travel guide for an unforgettable experience!
We highly recommend you visit Capri if you’re planning a trip to Italy, especially if you’ll be near Naples or the Amalfi Coast.
Enjoy the video and we’ll see you in our next one as we keep GOING PLACES!

Capri Day Trip from Rome with Anacapri, Blue Grotto, Limoncello Tasting and Perfume Factory Visit
Enjoy an unforgettable holiday in Capri - one of Southern Italy's most beautiful islands. Your VIP day trip to the island of Capri includes expert locals to guide you around Capri, Anacapri and the Blue Grotto and introduce you to the wonders of limoncello and Italian perfume plus private touring by coach and a high speed boat ride to and from Naples. Small groups of only 25 people or fewer provides a more intimate experience.
While Rome is filled with so many things to do and things to see, one should not miss taking a break from the city and discovering the wonderful Italian towns and islands around the region. Just a day trip away are Florence, Pompeii and Naples, to name a few. And just another boat trip away from Naples Harbour is the island of Capri.
Travel like a VIP by private coach from Rome to Naples Harbor then board a high-speed boat to the beautiful island of Capri. Explore the enchanting towns of Capri and Anacapri with a local guide who can expertly take you past long lines and crowds. Skip the public transportation as you go around the island by private coach.
Enjoy unique experiences as your expert guide shows you the treasures of the island - from the lesser known authentic areas that only locals would know about to quaint artisan shops to the famous Limoncello liquor (made from Femminello lemons) and the Carthusia perfume.
Try Italy’s most famous liquor with a Limoncello tasting and visit the oldest perfumery in Capri. Take in the experience of being in one of the most beautiful places in the world as you sip your limoncello and inhale the most wonderful aromas in the Perfumery of Carthusia.
Make the most out of your visit by taking the optional tour to the famous Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra). As the most famous site in Capri (and not always accessible due to tide), a boat trip to the Blue Grotto is an experience not to be missed.
Enter the sea cave located on the coast of the island and be at awe at the cavern illuminated in blue. The brilliant sunlight entering the cave reflects in the clear waters and bathes the Grotto in glowing blue light. Marvel at this natural wonder and hear stories and interesting details from your guide.
End this wonderful day trip experience with a high-speed boat trip back to Naples and a relaxing drive up the coast back to Rome. This VIP day trip will certainly be one of the best parts of your vacation.

Grotto Azzurra (Blue Grotto), Capri
The Blue Grotto is a sea cave on the coast of the island of Capri, southern Italy. Sunlight, passing through an underwater cavity and shining through the seawater, creates a blue reflection that illuminates the cavern - Wikipedia

Capri and its Blue Grotto - Italy's Legends by the Sea
Capri was already in ancient times a place for the rich and beautiful. Today Capri is one of the most famous islands in the world. Millions of tourists visit it. But there are in fact still unknown corners on the island in the Gulf of Naples.
Thus, at the very top of Capri, there is a hermit monastery with a view to the Vesuvius. Vittorio Staiano and Carmine Russo have to ring the bells at exactly twelve o'clock. But the way to the monastery is not so easy, a chair lift and a steep path await them; as a reward, a good coffee in the chapel beckons with heavenly peace.
In the hustle and bustle that reigns among them, Michele Balsamo gets his jewel back into shape. He is the proud winner of the Vespa Club. His Ape tricycle transporter with curtains, jukeboxes and romantic lighting has been voted the most beautiful on the island.
The most famous spot of Capri is not on the island, but below it: La Grotta Azzurra. When the sea is calm, Roberto rows tourists into the Blue Grotto in a tiny boat and sings in phenomenal acoustics, waiting for a decent tip. There is competition for the paying guests. Word has long since got around which nationalities are particularly generous and which are not.
Opposite Capri is the Amalfi Coast. Legendary places like Sorrento or Positano lie on the steep coast between Naples and Salerno. Who wants to build on this panorama road, calls Giovanni Bottone. He runs a transport company with mules and is well known. He is in charge of several construction sites at the same time, all of which can only be reached by stairs. It is often necessary to climb over 500 steps. Then only Giovanni's animals carry bricks or mortar. But there are also places where not even his donkeys can get to.
The small bay Conca dei Marini can only be reached from the water. There, the Lauritanos run the restaurant La Tonnarella. In former times the tuna fish were gathered here, since the 1950s they were not seen here anymore. But Jacky Kennedy came as a guest to the bay and ate a pasta in the beach cottage of Umberto. That was the beginning of the restaurant. Today Umbertos young granddaughters run the shop with the difficult logistics and the risk that not one guest will come in rough seas.
The Morvillo fishing family also depends on the weather. They are the only ones on the coast who are allowed to fetch Gamberetti from the sea. Her catch is so coveted that it is sold directly from the cutter. The director of the Marine National Park makes sure that this family remains the only shrimp fisher. He also uses the so-called sea sweeper every day, a floating rust bucket that collects garbage between Sorrento and Amalfi.
Maria Cirillo trains with her rescue dogs in the place that gave the coast its name. She makes Golden Retriever get people who threaten to drown out of the water. But before the work begins, there is a coffee at the bar and a round of cornetti for the dogs. Who knows what will happen on the busy beach?

Italy's Island Of Capri Secret Steps to blue grotto cove
Excursion to the island of Capri with my study abroad class set free to explore on our own. Finding rooftops to climb on after the trolly ride to the higher part of the island then walking up the streets towards the larger houses on the hill and coming across an old path which lead to old stair walkways and small building of ruins left over from who knows when. eventually leading to one big fence we had to hop then only a few hundred yards away was some rocks to scale down an the ocean to take a well deserved swim.
The beautiful views of Capri Italy (Blue Grotto & Anacapri)
Anacapri | Amalfi Coast, Italy Travel Diary
Anacapri is Capri's quaint little sister, a short convertible ride around to the other side. The high point (pun intended) is the chair lift to the top of Monte Solaro, the highest point of the island. You’re greeted by breathtaking views down to the Faraglioni rocks and super yachts scattered offshore.
