Stop 3
Capri is one of the main islands of the Bay of Naples. It is a very charming and exclusive island, divided between the two main towns, Capri and Anacapri. The whole island is full of hidden caves, terraces with amazing views and steep roads that overlook the iconic blue sea.
Grotta Azzurra
The Blue Grotto is a very famous cave of Capri. Thanks to its position and the tiny entrance, once inside with a little boat, the rays of the sun change the color of the water to a light blue shade that makes it impossible to believe! Due to its tiny entrance, if there is bad weather or the tide is too high the cave remains closed.
