A short but unforgettable visit into one of Capri’s most mesmerizing natural wonders, where light, water, and stone create a dreamlike setting.
Getting started
Make your way to the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzura) entrance and keep your ticket ready for validation. Since the cave opening is extremely low, access is only possible by small rowboat, which must be arranged and paid for on-site.
What to expect
Blue Grotto
Tucked into Capri’s rocky coastline, it was believed that Grotta Azzura was Roman emperor Tiberius' private nymphaeum. A few artifacts of worship were even uncovered from its seabed.
