Blue Grotto

Reaching the island of Capri after about 30 minutes of navigation at moderate speed we will reach the Blue Grotto. In Roman times it served as the private swimming pool of an important villa in the area, today with its play of light it is one of the most visited nature sites in the world. We will go to the Blue Cave at the best times to find less line i.e. early morning or afternoon so as to avoid too long lines. Remember that since the cave entrance is only 1 meter ( 3.28 feet ) high, the site is likely to remain closed in case of adverse marine weather conditions.
